They can be pretty convincing these days, so it's always safest to try and pull the card reader off a machine before putting your card in. They're pretty robust, so if you manage to break it, it's because there was a skimmer attached and you just saved your card.
Yeah, my first thoughts today were it was a card skimmer. There's no way it leaked online since I'd hear about a breach at the few websites it's actually used for (it'd be all over the news basically, since they're huge companies). Where I live, there is a gas station that's... not the most well lit and maintained looking place to say the least. When I'm low on gas and in a hurry, it's just convenient, but sometimes it I get the feeling it's shady af. Gonna have to stop going there. It's really the only place that doesn't take my chip and PIN too, so yeah...
