Gas pump credit card skimmers were recently discovered by staff at the Bowlin’s on Johnson Road near Benson.
Store personnel reported finding two skimming devices, that appeared to be Bluetooth capable, and recognized suspicious activity on their scanners, according to the Arizona Department of Weights and Measures.
The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office offered tips to secure your personal information:
1. Use the pump nearest to the front door in sight of the clerks.
2. Go inside and pay.
3. Use a gas station charge card (that is not so useful to criminals).
4. Report any suspicious looking equipment to the store staff immediately.
