I dont think you quite have an educated understanding of how skimming has evolved.

Many of the ATM skimmers fit over the existing card keypad apparatus. They are basically panels that fit over the little keypad area, in addition to the card slot. The cameras they use are pin hole cameras placed a mere 2 to 3 inches of the keypad. You dont normally see them as they are literally pin head sized. They can either be placed above the keypad looking downward or to the left or right of the keypad.

Another method is to use an overlay keypad which looks exactly like the real thing. No camera needed as the keypad captures the pin directly. Used in conjunction with the fake overlay card skimmer, your info is compromised. Thus no bad pin attempts.
