Gas pump cc skimmers found in Wisconsin

Look for signs before swiping your card

The simple act of swiping your credit card at the gas pump could put you at risk for getting ripped off.  

Consumer Affairs in Madison warns that crooks are, apparently, loading up gas pumps with something called card skimmers.

The devices, being found now in Wisconsin, lift your card info when you go to use it at the pump.

They’re either a fake card reader that fits over the real one on the outside of the gas pump or just a rigged up cable on the inside of the pump that goes from the reader to the machine’s motherboard.  

A couple of ways to tell you might be getting skimmed: They say the card reader wil be loose and wiggly or there are tamper marks on the outside of the fuel pump cabinet.
