(or the “ATM machine,” as Bono calls it)

Today’s helpful bit of advice is to pay attention the next time, and every time, you go to the ATM or use any other kind of machine that involves your credit card (like a gas station kiosk, for example). If you see something like this, either go somewhere else, or let the bank/business know that it’s a credit card skimmer:
