TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Beware of ATM skimmers

I always use cash and use the ATMs on the strip all the time. Those are well-trafficked areas visible from the main street. The picture in the article is not of the skimmers used, it is a stock image from Germany - I hate it when the press does that. The biggest skimming event in the Caribbean was years ago when the only ATM for the English Harbour / Falmouth Habour area was skimmed for a period lasting only about 24 hours. But the high-limit clientele in that area was worth it to the international ring.
