Personal advise to all.

Only use ATMs physically attached to a bank branch that issued the card.

Most of these are gas stations with the skimmer on the pump. After having my Exxon card skimmed I've switched to Exxons speedpass app that doesn't need a card and is actually faster..

I can't pay for parking with a credit card because I don't carry it. My flip phone don't have no apps on it. I barter some illegally harvested oysters and rockfish with the man down to the filling station so I can get some gas fer the boat.
