Watching out for credit card skimmers.

• 2018-03-28: a credit card skimmer is an inexpensive device that thieves use to steal your credit or debit card numbers. In any place where a card is inserted or swiped, physically grab the place where the card would go and basically yank and see if a thin piece of plastic pops off. If so, it is a skimmer - stomp on it!

 

• Also, check for little cameras that are looking down on the keypad like on a fuel pump that would be watching you enter in your zip code.
• Here is a great little video that describes both steps in this process. Be aware. Be smart. Stay safe!
