Gas station credit card scams (also known as credit card skimming) can affect anyone who uses their credit or debit cards at ATMs, gas stations, restaurants or retail stores.
A skimmer is a device installed on card readers that collects card numbers. Criminals will later recover and use this stolen info for fraudulent purchases. In this episode, we talk about how this scheme works, how thieves make money with the data, and what steps you can take to hopefully avoid getting your card information and money stolen.
