Credit or debit card skimming is a real threat.  The skimming of credit cards is not another myth formed from the movies or science fiction.  It is a real life threat that has taken many by surprise right under there nose. 

With every passing day we become more and more dependant upon our credit and debit cards.  Most think that credit fraud only happens online, which is totally false.  I myself trust online purchases more than I do atms and sales people.
