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.
