That's true, so I'm not quite sure how you can be sure. If
your card shows a Visa or Mastercard logo, I think you're
safe - mine did not. (I had never had a problem on previous
visits - using the same card - so if some machines are for
locals only, as d.g.s. says, perhaps I just chose the wrong
ones to approach.)
