Documented instances of ATM skimming have occurred in Westchester. See the attached safety bulletin, authored and distributed by the NYPD
ATM “Skimming” occurs when a criminal attaches a phony card reading device over the real card reader located either at the lobby entrance door or on the ATM machine. The phony device looks identical to the real device and is equipped with electronic recorders that will capture the financial information from your card.
This data is later used to create “cloned” cards which will later be used to withdraw money. ATM skimming has occurred within Westchester. Please see the attachment, drafted and distributed by the NYPD for suggested practices when using an ATM machine. Consult with your personal banking institution for additional safety measures
