It only affects those who have a PIN instead of having to sign. If you are using a PIN to do your transactions you are at risk. Change to "sign only" and you will be safe. Sorry to hear you have been robbed.

i thought they were even able to clear our savings accounts, the skimming device stores the cards information and usually they had a small camera to get your PIN number... if its reads the cards info and you have a signiture on your account then they can still use your information.....

I changed my PIN yesterday, Kay's bank actually blocked her accounts without warning! Thankfully neither of us were compromised, probably helps that because of Jeep ownership there's rarely a great deal of money in our accounts :D

My wife has had three co- workers wiped out in the last week or so. Their information was skimmed from fast food places and their Eftpos machines...
