\"\"JACKSONVILLE — The Texas Department of Agriculture has identified card skimmers at a Jacksonville gas station. According to our news partner KETK, ag department officials say they found two skimmers at the Pac N Sac Valero gas station on South Bolton Street at Woodlawn Avenue. Skimmers are unauthorized electronic devices installed by criminals to gather credit card data from customers. East Texas has been hit by a rash of them in the past year. The criminals can download the information using blue tooth technology. Officials say you should always monitor your credit and debit cards for unauthorized activity — and report any suspicious activity to your bank or credit card company and the police. <\/p>\n

The state agriculture department provided the following tips to consumers to protect them from skimmers:<\/p>\n

Use pumps closest to the storefront, in line of sight of store employees. <\/p>\n

Before pumping, check for unusual Bluetooth signals with an identification of a string of numbers and letters, which might be a skimmer.<\/p>\n

Check to make sure that the security tape on the pump cabinet has not been damaged, which could indicate the pump has been tampered with.<\/p>\n

Always save gas receipts and monitor your bank statements.<\/p>\n

The safest strategy is to pay inside the store.<\/p>\n

If you think you have been skimmed, call the state agriculture department at (800) 835-5832.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
