Some people have suggested that it shouldn't be hard to spot a modified ATM and while that may hold true if you are technically inclined, many people are not. I propose a very simple alternative. Develop an ATM habit. Pick the most convenient machines near your home/work/whatever and use those. You'll get used to what they look like, so when they have an extra bit on the card slot one day, it'll stand out like a sore thumb. Simple. Personally I think the banks could massively improve the design of the ATM fascias to make it obvious when there has been tampering (e.g. the entire front would be a single smooth piece of brushed metal), but that doesn't seem wildly likely to happen any time soon.
