Yep this is one of the newest scams out there. I always check the ATM to see if it looks different than normally because the readers the fraudsters use are so small and compact now that they are nearly impossible to see.
We just had a case here in Denmark where they put up a new "shell" infront of the ATM machine. It looked 100% like the normal ATM but featured a magnetice stripe reader and it stored the PIN code you entered on the keypad as well. The customers didnt notice because the ATM worked perfectly and paid out the money as usual. It was only afterwards when they saw all the transactions on their cards they found out.
