Are You Just Going to Let Them Steal Your Money?

Do you know that trillions of dollars are being taken from your bank account every year? You might not even realize it's happening.
It's called "skimming," and it's a crime that's sweeping the nation.
Here's how it works:
Criminals install a small device on an ATM or gas pump. This device reads the information from your credit or debit card when you use it.
The criminals then use this information to make unauthorized purchases or withdrawals from your account.
Skimming is a serious problem, and it's only getting worse. In 2022, there were over 250,000 reported cases of skimming in the United States.
That's a lot of money being stolen from hardworking people like you and me.
So what can you do to protect yourself from skimming?
Here are a few tips:
* Inspect the ATM or gas pump before you use it. Look for anything that looks out of place, like a small device attached to the card reader.
* If you see anything suspicious, don't use that ATM or gas pump. Report it to the bank or business immediately.
* Use a credit or debit card that has a chip embedded in it. Chips are more difficult to skim than magnetic stripes.
* Cover the keypad with your hand when you're entering your PIN number. This will make it more difficult for criminals to see what you're typing.
* Monitor your bank statements regularly for any unauthorized activity. If you see anything suspicious, report it to your bank immediately.
Skimming is a real threat, but there are things you can do to protect yourself. By following these tips, you can help keep your money safe.
