Quick SCAN Checklist for Card Readers

Scan: Look for hidden cameras near the keypad. Always cover your hand while typing your PIN.
Compare: Ensure the card reader and keypad match the rest of the machine in color and style.
Assess: Check for signs of tampering like broken panels or seals.
Nudge: Gently move the card reader and keypad. If they feel loose, it might be a skimmer.
If something seems off, report it to the clerk and use another machine. Stay safe
