Dude, that's a pretty crappy "manual". Blinking lights, a gsm card, and some batteries.

File me under "officially scared the hell outta"

I hear gas skimmers are becoming quite the rage too. They are gaining popularity b/c ppl dont check for skimmers on gas pumps.

Best way to get around these kinds of scams is use ATM's you are familiar with at banks that you use frequently. I'm surprised more people didn't know about this scam.
