Illegals Using Fake Skimmers at Self-Checkouts to Drain Consumers' Bank Accounts; Here's How to Guard Yourself

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

Stills reveals how the perpetrators fit the imitation credit or debit card skimmer over the real one, and how to tell if the one you're using is fake, in order to guard yourself from theft.

"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
