The San Jose State University Police Department is sending out a warning after a machine used to steal banking information was found on at least two ATM machines on campus.
“These skimmers are internal,” said Capt. Frank Belcastro. “They’re not detectable from the outside, so you would never know that it is in there. And even if you looked in the slot, you wouldn’t see it.”
He said part of the skimmer is a camera, so the crook can capture pins as people are pressing the buttons.Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.So, university police alerted the entire campus community to check their bank accounts and report any theft or fraud. “Pretty frightening. But I keep my credit cards pretty safe. I check my monthly statement now and then,” said student Kim Colton.
