Card skimming is where a very small and hardly noticeable device is attached to an ATM machine at a bank, or a pay at the pump at a gas station, or on the reader at the cash register. They are able to collect your account information via this "skimmer" and if you input your PIN number, there likely may be a camera near by to film you doing that.

There is a good article explaining this issue and how to protect yourself in detail published by the California Department of Financial Institutions. Here it is: "Card Skimming at ATMs"
