Over the past few weeks, multiple card skimmers have been located on gas pumps at a local Harrisonville gas station.
We want to
remind everyone to be vigilant when using any credit/debit card machines.
Skimmers can be placed on gas pumps, ATMs, or any other place where you would
insert a card. Many skimmers go completely inside the card slot and are not
easily seen from the outside. When a skimmer is placed into the card slot, it
often results in a person having to apply more force than normal to push their
card in.
In general,
tap pay is a safer option than swiping a card, but nothing is 100% safe. Please
do everything you can to protect yourself from becoming a fraud victim. Pay
close attention to your bank transactions and statements to watch for
fraudulent activity.
