Check the alignment of the card reader and the panel underneath it.
Look inside of the card reader before inserting your card.
If you see or suspect a card skimmer, please contact police immediately at 911.
Notify your bank immediately if you suspect you have been a victim of card skimming.

Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
