  • If the keypad feels “off” or the buttons are unusually spongy or uneven, the keypad may be fake. Sometimes, thieves will put a fake key pad over the real pad to capture your PIN number.

  • The reader is skewed or hanging off to the side.
  • A loose piece of plastic, or wires sticking out from the reader.
