What Are Credit Card Gas Pump Skimmers?

A skimmer is a device that’s affixed

surreptitiously to a credit card reader. It

looks just like the slot that you’d ordinarily

put your card into, but as cards are inserted

into it, the skimmer scans the magnetic

strips and clones them. Then the person

who installed it can access your credit card

information and steal your identity. Next, see

how to protect yourself.

TIP #1Protect Your Password

Shield the keypad as you type your password, so that no one can see it.

TIP #2Look for Tampering

Try wiggling the slot a little bit to see if it gives. If it does, there’s a good chance it’s an unauthorized addition.

TIP #3View Other Credit Card Readers

If the two are identical, then you’re probably safe. If they’re not, you may be dealing with a skimmer.

Even if you’re in a hurry, take a few moments to look carefully before you insert your card anywhere.
