and a more recent skimming news item from this month:

Cloned-card scams socking it to bank accounts
http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/metro/stories/MYSA030506.09B.atm_theft.27d5322.html

the above card mentions pins with debit cards ... which is typically
required for atm machines for withdrawing cash ... but the new class of
debit cards with logos can also be used w/o pins at pos terminals (aka
at pos, it is option selection to decide whether the debit card is used
with or w/o pin).
