Another news report from another city revealed that in cases of elaborate covers, employees tended to be involved in the scam. The cover has to be designed for the specific reader, and once an employee has determined all the camera angles, an associate can quickly and easily attach the device. Most stores aren't willing to invest in additional, secret cameras.

Why are police not doing anything to these store owners? They have cameras on the register but not on the skimmer? This is a thrid degree felony and police will do more work chasing shop lifters than protect the community from stuff like this.

So, I get it that the criminals attach these skimmers to high traffic areas. What I do not understand is how there has not been some form of scanning device invented so that business owners can scan their machines for tampering? Where are these criminals 'reading' the stolen information from? There must be a way to 'follow the money if everything done online leaves a digital footprint? Who manufactures the fake attachments? Surely, these are high-tech equipment purchases that could be traced?

Its usually a standalone device that has its own scanner, data storage, and sometimes wireless connectivity. It almost sounds like you think they're getting hacked. Anyway, not a bad idea to have a tamper seal that disable the device if opened but in the videos example a device was slipped over it.

Man I would be absolutely livid if someone stole my credit card by using this .

The CREDIT CARDS, CARDS are also ALSO SKIMMING DEVICE, TRACEABLE

Why aren’t the establishments responsible for policing their payment devices? Is it b/c the payment clerks and/ or the store mgrs are in on the swipe scam? If the operators of stores and the devices were held financially and legally responsible, no doubt they’d be “Jonny-on-the-spot”, but b/c the financial institutions are the ones on the hook, the stores don’t bother the police this activity

Quite often, employees and even managers are the ones doing the scam. It's rarely a person from outside the company. This is especially true of franchised locations (fast food, gas stations, etc). If you try to check for a skimmer and they act defensive, you might have just found one.

In one sense, it's good, because these new stores, that don't take cash, or have sales clerks like in Las Vegas International can be vulnerable to have skimming devices put on their devices, in these stores. There is a way, for these thieves to be invisible to surveillance cameras.

I wonder if banks check their banks EVERY DAY? Twice a day? Surely, it would take a few minutes - a job for the manager I think.

RFID chip cards? America is so far behind.

not the captions being completely unreliable and inaccurate

Swiping a credit card is not a bad habit. It is safer than carrying cash, in which you could get robbed. Please look in a mirror.

Don't use debit card, as the money goes out of your bank account whereas credit card is a charge you can dispute.

Where In Rochester was this

Besides the oddball location, what places/cashiers run the credit card for you anymore? Most businesses don't even have behind the counter card scanners anymore.

I guess I have to bring a ruler to the store from now on

One local store in my area updated their card readers and I don’t think anyone will be able to put skimmers on them. They are much different from the old ones.

Happened to me twice. Once at a gas station & the cashier skimmed the card 3 times with his "oops, pressed the wrong key" out of sight becauseit was under the counter......then again at a postal outlet that had ATM machine.

Some Food Bazaar in NYC is scamming people too. I know 2 ppl who SNAP Benefits were skimmed while using this supermarket, smh.

I'm broke barely getting by in life now I have to worry about this shit

?? I check the date. It's a 2 months ago video. How come US is still using sliding card machine when Asian countries are using QR codes & contactless tap & card insertion at checkouts?

Pay with your phones guys! Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay all use tokenization, which means your digital wallet protects your card numbers by creating a « fake » one that is transmitted to the machine. That way, your card info is never revealed to the machine. The only inconvenient thing is that if you return an article and the clerk says your card number doesn’t match, means you have to accept the credit with your phone as well.

One more reason to have employees checking you out, as opposed to self checkout. Same with the gas pumps, take the time to go in & pay first. Simple as that.

Useless info here. No 2 machines are anything alike and most look like they've been beaten with a hammer by angry customers anyway. Convenience store managers and owners are the most common criminals placing these skimmers on the stores machines. It's far more organized than just 2 people with backpacks.

What would stop a person from placing a skimmer on a “maned “station a simple distraction a few seconds . Cashiers I’m not the highest level of security in the store. Lost prevention professionals should be scanning each of those registers daily as part of their opening duties. Store is in fail to protect the consumers should also be held liable for what their machines do.

What's bad is that Walmart on purposely doesn't allow tapping at their self check out stands.

What about the stores that claim they didn't see someone put it on There's a video from a store where the scanner is only a few feet away and they cler claimed not to know anything about it.

How do they attach them when people around

Doesn't seem like they know either 😂 they put up two pictures of the same thing and says they're different.

0:57 I think that one right there. The key pad has that curved part… that’s it. Give that nice firm tug or 2

Wtf there was literally no difference between the first two pictures and absolutely nothing helpful shared by the reporter. This is why we can just watch shorts and avoid the news

The liability should be placed on the store. We shouldn't have to play detective to use your stupid machines. If money is stolen from a skimmer, YOU PAY!

Except that they have found these skimmers in the stores at the cashiers desk where the human being is.
