Here s what the Department of Agriculture recommends to avoid skimmers at gas stations: Pay in cash inside the store to ensure credit card information stays safe. Check to make sure the gas pump dispenser cabinet is closed and has not been tampered with. Many stations are now putting a piece of security tape over the cabinet to ensure it has not been opened by unauthorized individuals. Try to use a gas pump closer to the front of the store. Thieves often place skimmers at the gas pumps farther away from the store so they aren t noticed as quickly. Use a credit card instead of a debit card. Credit cards have better fraud protection, and the money is not deducted immediately from an account. If using a debit card at the pump, choose to run it as a credit card instead of putting a PIN number in. That way, the PIN number is safe. Monitor bank accounts regularly to spot any unauthorized charges. Consumers who suspect their credit card number has been compromised should report it immediately to authorities and their credit card company. Here are the locations of the 03 skimmers, listed in alphabetical order by county.
