How it works
Card skimming devices are periodically attached to ATMs inside and directly outside Five Points MARTA station and standalone ATMs along Peachtree Street between Five Points and Peachtree Center. Criminals harvest card data and PINs, then clone debit cards and drain accounts within hours. Atlanta hosts major conventions and sporting events that drive large tourist cash withdrawals, making downtown ATMs a frequent target for skimmer installation.
