This too.

I got scammed abroad a few years back after my debit card was 'swallowed' by a cash machine. Thousands of pounds extricated themselves from my account; I got every penny back.

I learned an interesting thing a while back.
If a cashpoint ever swallows your card and you're a bit dubious, see if you can get a nail under the surround of the card slot. There was a scam where this would be a fake stuck over the real one, with a loop of thin strong plastic fed into the machine - this would catch a selection of cards inside, but if you pulled the front off the whole lot came back out.

I would not recommend going at it with a screwdriver though, the police look dimly on that sort of thing.

This is true
these days I'm very cautious and always rub my fingers along the slot before I put it in.
