ATM Tampering Leads to Identity Theft

According to KRDO in Colorado a “skimming device” was found in a Colorado ATM. The “skimming device” is used to read the magnetic strip on credit and debit cards. Once the information has been obtained the perpetrators have all the information they need to steal someone’s identity.

The most popular way for criminals to use the machines is to make counterfeit cards and steal account information.

Once the police retrieved the machine, they sent it to the Secret Service for investigation.
