KALAMAZOO (WKZO-AM) — Kalamazoo County Sheriff Richard Fuller says gas pump credit card skimmers are making a comeback in southwest Michigan.
Fuller wouldn’t say specifically where the newest batch of card number-stealing devices were found, but did say they’re returning along the usual corridors.
“They travel down Interstate 94 and sometimes U.S. 131,” Fuller said.
Scammers either slip the skimmers over card-readers or secretly hook them into the pump’s internal computer.
“It’s something that we all need to be very vigilant about, and part of being vigilant is checking your credit card statement,” Fuller said.
Those who notice unusual activity are urged to contact local authorities.
