Skimming: every ATM should show a picture of the unmodified/original credit card entrance slit on the ATM's screen. I understand this will result in costs for all banks involved but not doing anything at all may even be more costly. Currently every ATM has a different entrance slit to put your card in. We consumers can't possible judge if this slit is the original one or a fake. Banks: ACTION!
Yeah, that makes sense. The image could just be a jpeg that's displayed before you enter your card. All they need to do is send out an employee with a digital camera! And it wouldn't take too long either....ATMs are rare where I come from.

Wouldn't it be easier to have sensors on ATM, to see if something 'not authorized' is attached?
And it's queit easy to track someone by phone number, there is number of services doing that, here, in Europe.
They should just put frequency disruptors in all ATM's and squander these jerks 8.5G's
