The extra digits are usually on the back of the card.

To J Correa: On American Express, they're on the front.

You are right, J. Correa, they are usually on the back, but it has been my experience that only about one out of 20 will ask for those numbers on the internet.

The real point is that the info is there on the credit/debit card, whether it's visible to the naked eye or not. It's there, and anyone with half a mind to get it, can. That's why I thought I'd post the ATM alert info.

Here's a web site with pictures of the devices attached to the ATMs and the camera-in-a-brochure-holder, and information about how the scam works:
