Speaking of credit, we hit the ATM a couple of times in Vegas. The last time (yesterday morning) a female employee was leaning on the machine, toward

the backend of it so she couldn't see the keypad or the screen, but it still made me uneasy. She kind walked a few feet away when I started to use it and went right back over to it when we walked away. In the back of mind I didn't like it, and maybe it was nothing BUT, I just got a call from the bank. Someone counterfeited our card and tried to use it at a Target in Temecula, CA last night. Luckily, I emptied that account in Vegas so there wasn't sufficient funds for their bogus purchase and it was declined. The bank blocked the card after the attempt because they knew we were in Vegas.

I would think a casino would be the last place to do something like that merely cause they have cameras everywhere -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 15, 18:34
Wonder if she was using a skimmer? -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 15, 16:51 2
- This was my first thought....stay close enough to remove it immediately after a card use. Crazy to think people still try to get away with stuff even - CrankYanker Jun 15, 17:01 1
  - I had that happen to me twice at a gas station. -- nm - jnine Jun 15, 17:07
