If you've never heard of this, I'm glad to touch on the subject again. I did a presentation on this about a year ago. High tech criminals are attaching credit card readers to legitimate ATMs and gas pump card readers. They do nothing but skim over the information on the card and record it... giving this scam the name "skimming".
Little cameras installed on these devices record pin numbers, or even a fake one installed over top the legit one. The attachments are very well made to blend in with the current machine, so you'll have to keep your eye out.
