     6  operates an automated teller machine at which consumers may make  finan-
     7  cial transactions, including, but not limited to, deposits, withdrawals,
     8  balance inquiries, and loan payments;
     9    (b)  "skimming"  shall  be  defined as obtaining a consumer's personal

    11  of  the  penal  law  through  the  use of a skimmer device as defined in
