The again, your card could be cloned in an ATM, or when paying anywhere where you lose sight of it for a few seconds. You could be scammed by email, online purchase, or many other things.
Just more tin foil had brigade.

I've had my debit card cloned and it was more an inconvenience than anything else. The fraudsters made a small value transaction (£1.70 car park) to test that it worked. Then they tried to order some IT equipment online about nine times but each time that transaction failed. This alerted the bank who rang me straight away, cancelled the card and reversed the car park transaction.
The bank said it could have been cloned anywhere so not to worry about it.
