MARSHALL — The Marshall Police Department said that a card skimming device was recently found at a QuikTrip gas station off of Interstate 20 near Marshall. According to our news partner KETK, Marshall Police released the following statement:

“Attention, Marshall residents! A skimming device was recently discovered at a local gas station near I20 (QT), thanks to the vigilance of a community member. Skimmers can steal your card information when you pay at the pump, leading to unauthorized transactions and financial headaches.”

The department gave the following safety tip:

• Use a credit card rather than a debit card because they have better protection from fraud.
• Pay with the cashier when possible.
• Tug on the card reader before inserting your card.
• Check on the tamper-evident sticker and don’t use the pump if the sticker is broken.
