Card skimming occurs when devices are illegally placed on ATMs, fuel pumps and other locations to capture personal data and cardholders' PINs. Offenders use that information to create fake debit or credit cards and then steal from victims' accounts.
Skimming can involve the use of pinhole cameras, which record a customer entering their PIN. Find out more on the FBI's card-skimming information page.
