WESTMINSTER, Colo -- BEWARE of credit card skimmers!
Yes, unfortunately we come across these. While we haven't had any recent cases, we want to remind folks of the warning signs to prevent scammers from obtaining your information.
- Card reader feels loose, wiggles, or sticks out farther than others
- Resistance or unusual feel when inserting your card
- Overlay, tape, or extra plastic around the slot or keypad
- Small pinhole or camera lens near the keypad or card slot
- Keypad buttons feel raised, spongy, or different from other pumps
If you have the ability to tap-to-pay, use it. Using a tap-to-pay (contactless) card does not completely remove the risk of card fraud, though it eliminates traditional physical skimmers on card slots.
