How it works
Standalone ATMs in high-traffic Myrtle Beach tourist areas — souvenir shops, amusement venues, beachfront bars, and convenience stores on Ocean Boulevard — are periodic targets for card skimming devices that capture card data and PINs from unsuspecting visitors. The Myrtle Beach and Horry County area has seen documented skimming cases at machines near the boardwalk district. Skimming hardware has become increasingly difficult to visually detect, with thieves deploying overlay pads on PIN pads and internal throat readers on card slots.
