Do You Trust Your ATM?

Pretty frightening, eh? No one these days likely thinks that it will happen to them when they happen to pop into the “Quicky Mart” for a fast snack and some gas. But are you really sure that using that store offered ATM is such a good idea?

Even with protection offered by your bank in an effort to keep your finances safe, are really all that sure you are not also risking your own personal information as well? Who’s to say what info is really being gathered off of the information being sent back and forth between your bank.

While the prospect of having your identity stolen seems out of reach seems too incredible to grasp however I know of two people that this has happened to in the past. Think I am wrong or perhaps just being paranoid? Use the comment form above and tell me about it.

Beware the unscrupulous quickie mart, Matt! They never seem to have raspberry flavor in the squishie machine anyway.

Isn’t the new American dream to buy an ATM or fifty? Iljmija Frljuckic, indeed!

I’m still amazed that I can use my credit card without being challenged, other than for my signature. An ATM card however, at least requires you to enter a PIN.

What Do You Think?
