Skimmer Found At Oxford Station

OXFORD (WCBI) – Oxford Police are asking area residents to take a look at their credit card and bank accounts after finding this skimmer at an Oxford gas station.

 

The device was located attached to a pump at the Marathon Gas Station on South Lamar.  This particular skimmer was designed to capture card and PIN information via wi fi from a remote area.   Police say skimmers are tough to detect and this one was located by a technician working on the pump.  Some tips to help spot one is to wiggle the card reader every time you use a pump to make sure the card reader is secure. Motorists should also look to see if the pump appears to have been tampered with.   Account holders should  make a habit of checking your bank and card records online frequently not just at the end of the billing cycle.
