What: Credit Card Skimmer Found
Where: Montrose Area
Neighbors,
Several people have reported their credit cards were compromised after pumping gas at Shell station on West Alabama and Montrose. Police say a credit card skimmer may have been used at the pump. You can read more about it here.
If you have frequented this gas station in the past few months, you may want to check your bank account statements.
Fortunately, there are a few apps that have been created to deter this type of criminal activity. The Skimmer Scanner is designed to help users detect if there is a skimming device before you get gas. You turn on the app near the pump and if it says “No Skimmer Found”, you are good to swipe your card. Check your App Store to see what’s available.
Be Safe,
Constable Al Rosen
