What is the "ATM Skimming on Milsom Street" scam in Bath?

Question

Accepted Answer

Standalone and wall-mounted ATMs on Milsom Street and around the SouthGate shopping centre have been targeted by card-skimming overlays and hidden cameras capturing PIN entry. A skimming device fits over the legitimate card slot and transmits card data wirelessly, often combined with a tiny pinhole camera above the PIN pad. Use ATMs inside bank branches (NatWest and Barclays on Milsom Street have internal machines) rather than standalone street machines. Cover the PIN pad with your other hand when entering your code, and check for any wobble or unusual feel on the card slot before inserting your card.
