Longtime readers of this blog prolly know that I am fascinated by credit card skimmers. Especially the ones that are installed on ATMs and gas pumps to steal your account information as you swipe your cards.
(I don’t know why; I think it might be that as much as I don’t want to see a skimmer in real life — especially if I’m about to stick my credit card through it — I would like to be able to recognize one when/if I see one.)
This morning, I chatted with Tami Nealy about skimmers and basic things you can do to protect yourself from identity theft. In town to speak at a state mentoring conference, Nealy is the director of Public Affairs for LifeLock, an identity theft protection company.
