Getting information while you withdraw money from a cash machine is a lot easier than you expect as this video will show. There are 2 important things to remember:

While I’m tempted to comment on the whole credit card consolidation issue of trading credit card debt for home equity, a bigger worry is that she has set herself up for identity theft. There are a couple of frames where it may be possible to decipher her credit card number as she is flashing it on the video. Not a smart move at all…view for yourself
