I've heard that in the petrol stations, they set one of the CCTV cameras to watch the PIN-pad to record you putting in your PIN. The same thing is done at ATMs. I always hold my wallet over my hand now when typing the PIN. It helps that I can remember where the numbers are so I don't have to look.

No - in petrol stations, they have cheap labour, if there is a drive-off, then the money lost comes out of that employees wage.
Now I HATE to say this but, a lot of our technology is exported to the east Europeans, and they have installed and used that for their infrastructure, but have also exploited it, and found hacks. They have then travelled across Europe, and used those hacks, at a massive loss to the UK, by ATM card reading, visa scams, false passports etc..
What happens in the petrol station is that the card reader is replaced with a different version, that records your details, by the till person. The details are then passed on to a higher ranked person in the organisation to clone that card, usually abroad.
I used to fix those card machines, and when one went offline, for no reason, I was called out, but was diverted from fixing it, by being offered free porn mags, food, chatting, just diverting me, until they could swap the machine back to it's origional; and once that was back in place and it did it's dial up, everything was OK again. And the computer confirmed that it was taken down at the exact time of my visit. But not by me.
