140 Credit Card Skimmers Found In Fuel Dispensers

As of December 13, 140 credit card skimmers were found in Arizona fuel dispensers.  That is more than double the number of devices discovered in 2017.

According to the Arizona Weights and Measures Division, “Credit card skimming is the act of attaching an illegal device that copies and stores customer credit card information to retail devices such as ATMs, fuel dispensers, and point of sale systems. The copied information is then retrieved by the criminal and used to perform fraudulent transactions utilizing the stolen credit card information. “
