I went to withdraw some money yesterday and thought the card slot looked a bit suspicious. So went and withdrew my money inside. I wasn't convinced it was a skimming device and was in a bit of a rush, so didn't say anything.
But I ended going back at lunchtime, to ask them for confirmation that it wasn't anything suspicious. The girl I spoke to went and spoke to the manager and came back to tell me that I shouldn't worry. They check the machines daily and they'd notice if something was attached.
They didn't even come out and have a look. What if it's removed before they do their daily checks?
I've since done a bit of Googling and found a pictured skimming device from a newspaper article in Malta:

It does look very similar to what I saw:
I've since tweeted the bank a few times, but nobody can confirm that this is not a skimming device or not.
