On: Man Finds Card Skimmer On Bank ATM

How do they get the PINs?

Also, you would think these organizations would have enough money to produce something less sketchy. Was it attached with masking tape?

You only need a PIN to withdraw money from ATMs. Most debit cards can now also be used to shop, without specifying the PIN

Yeah but then most online places are going to require the extended information number, or a street address and other info which isn't on the card's magnetic stripe.

I suppose these guys could be setting up their own merchant accounts and finding providers who don't require this info. Or even creating fake cards and then using those. Both of those options seem a bit riskier to me...
