Wow, Carol. I deal with RBC here at home in Canada, so I have used the ATM at that RBC branch in Philipsburg, as recently as last February. For a major bank, a skimming incident is a bit unusual, but certainly not unheard of. Glad to hear that RBC has returned any funds and replaced the debit cards.

Your advice is excellent. Even when on island i automatically check my accounts daily, just as I do at home. I do know what to look for in detecting a fraudulent skimmer, but they are getting more sophisticated all the time. It is a little scary in any case, so thanks for that warning.
