Criminals are drilling holes into gas pumps to rip you off, Nebraska police warn
LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — The contactless payment option at gas stations protects customers from scammers using skimmers.
That’s why criminals are now making sure you have no other choice but to swipe your card, according to a new warning shared by the Henderson Police Department.
A post originally made by the Aurora Police Department in Colorado says crooks are drilling into contactless payment screens.
They then attach a skimmer in the card reader to steal your information, since that’s the only way left to pay from the pump.
Anyone who notices a suspicious hole should notify gas station employees right away.
The pumps need to be shut down and inspected.
