A blue background with the title #5 Watch out for Skimming Scams. Under the title is a paragraph that says, criminals install small devices (skimmers) on card readers at ATMs, gas pumps, or stores to steal card numbers from the magnetic stripe and often use hidden cameras or fake keypads to capture PINs.

Card skimming scams are on the rise! Always check card readers for anything unusual, cover your PIN, and use well-lit ATMs. Protect your cards with RFID sleeves.
