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.

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