I learned something today that I never realized before.
You can prevent yourself from being "skimmed" by criminals at your ATM.
Police said every ATM user can prevent themselves from being victimized by skimmers.
The skimmers are temporarily stuck on the ATM using two sided tape.
Officer Fecht said they'll come off if you pull on them with force.
"If you tug on it and it's not a false device, it's not going to hurt the machine," he said. "If it's fake it will come off."

Thanks David that is good advice, and simple. I know I wouldn't have thought to pull on the machine I think we were all brought up not to 'break' things. It's good to know that a simple pull won't break it.
