What is the "ATM Skimming in Shopping Malls" scam in Davao?

Question

Accepted Answer

ATM skimming devices have been reported on machines inside and near Davao shopping malls, particularly on standalone ATMs in convenience stores and smaller bank branches. Card data is stolen and used for unauthorized transactions, sometimes within hours of the original withdrawal. Use ATMs inside bank branches during opening hours rather than standalone machines. Inspect the card slot for loose or unusual attachments before inserting your card. Enable real-time SMS transaction alerts on your account. Withdraw larger amounts less frequently to minimize exposure.
