Watch Out For Skimmers
Be wary of skimmers at the gas station! You know the drill. The bad guys break into gas pumps and attach skimmers so they can steal your credit card information.
Our friends at ABC Action News provided the latest list of reported skimmers from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Florida has seen a 575 skimmers since January 1, 2018! They break it down county-by-county.
And so what are some ways you can prevent having your information stolen? First off, wiggle the card reader to see if it’s lose or janky. That’s a worrisome sign. The safest option is to go inside and pay, which is a bummer because it kind of takes away the convenience factor of pay at the pump.
