MARSHALL — An instrument used to steal credit card information was discovered at a gas pump in Marshall on Monday. The card skimmer was found on pump #1 at Sam\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Food Mart on Victory Drive. Police are continuing in the investigation of the situation. Credit card skimmers are devices added to card readers, usually in gas pumps or ATMs. Once the card is swiped into a reader with a skimmer attached, criminals may be given access to personal information of the cardholder.<\/p>\n
Authorities say if you are paying for fuel at the pump, you should activate the following steps to keep you from being a victim of a gas pump scanner:
\n Use a pump closest to the storefront, in line of sight for store personnel
\n Before pumping, check for unusual Bluetooth signals with an ID that is a string of numbers
\n and letters
\n Check that security tape on pump cabinet has not been damaged. Torn tape might indicate that
\n the cabinet was opened without store personnel\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s knowledge
\n The safest bet is to pay inside with cash
\n Always save the receipt and monitor your bank statements
\n If you think you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been skimmed, contact 1-800-TELL-TDA and they will send an inspector to
\n check it out<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
