The FBI estimates skimming costs consumers, banks and credit card companies more than $1 billon each year.
Federal agents say it involves placing small, illegal devices on point-of sale-terminals , gas pumps or ATMs which collect critical card information. Criminals use the data to create fake debit or credit cards and then steal from victims' accounts.
"There was an ATM withdrawal and associated ATM fees— which I've never paid an ATM fee in my life— for $483.75," Shuster said. However, Macedonia Detective Dan Matejka said a skimmer was found on the ATM and he believes it may have been on the machine for about a week in late January. "They could be a victim of skimming and not realize it so they should constantly check their accounts," he added.
