Aimee Herd : Mar 27, 2024  Fox News, NY Post

"They'll have people sitting outside a Walmart or a Target, and it looks like they're panhandling ... They are actually using Bluetooth technology that's connected to the skimmers inside the stores. So it's like a two for one, getting cash that people give them and stealing the numbers off the skimmers.” -Kimberly Edds, director of public affairs with the Orange County District Attorney's Office

"They'll have people sitting outside a Walmart or a Target, and it looks like they're panhandling," says Kimberly Edds, director of public affairs with the Orange County District Attorney's Office. "Sometimes they'll have a couple of kids. And they are actually using Bluetooth technology that's connected to the skimmers inside the stores. So it's like a two for one, getting cash that people give them and stealing the numbers off the skimmers."

Another way to avoid the fake skimmers is by not using the Self-Checkout (or just use cash), but it's important to be aware regardless. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
