How to avoid getting your ATM card skimmed

I have been reading and saw on the news how some people are becoming a victim of card skimmers so I thought it will be good to give a simple rule to avoid it.

• If you need cash go to a nearest store and buy something really cheap, use your debit card and ask for a cash back (some stores even allow cash back up to $200)
• Avoid using ATM machines from areas you are unsure of, instead find the nearest bank and go inside to withdraw.
• Double check if the pin pad feels loose sometimes they top it to the original pin pad to get your pin number. If you think that pad is compromise it is safe not to use it.
• Card skimmers are getting really great at it and at times you dont even know it is there so it is much safer to avoid using public atm machines as much as possible to over all avoid being a victim of it.
