Gas Station Awareness

[Mizzkizz7]

I went to get gas and noticed that the safety seal wasn't present, so I paid on the inside. Be careful because crooks can place card skimmers in the gas pump and you information along with others can be stolen.

Great catch, you can't be too careful.

Thank you for that reminder.

Good that you noticed that. It was just on the news last night about being aware of your surroundings and they talked about gas station skimmers too.

[mrisha]

It was televised a couple of days ago via local news and national news that skimmers are now hacking in at gas stations to get your card info.  Be careful.

These crooks have used technology to their advantage  and now can steal your card info without even using a skimmer. They just have to be in the same vicinity where your card is being used in order to get your card info.

I heard about this the other day. As of today I haven't seen a safety sticker on a gas pump. Every time I go to the gas pump they don't have stickers! Maybe now its a new safety for gas stations?

UGH. Thanks for the heads up. So glad these people use their minds for GOOD reasons- Sarcasm.....

I always pay inside so I can use my 5% discount code.

Don't really pay attention to a seal at the tank, but will from now on.

I don't know how other stations are, my daughter has a BP station.  If someone tries to mess with the pumps they will automatically shut down and she has to call the company to restart them.

Also if u go inside...Lock your doors.Crooks will see if u left any valuables and *bleep* them while U r inside.

That was a good catch I don't eve know where the safety seal is but I get gift cards for the gas station and that is all I ever use.  Every few weeks my grocer has them $10 off a $50 card and so I save money and feel safer at the pump.
