Don’t Get Trapped | The Sophisticated Fraudster
The Sophisticated Fraudster is out to steal your money and your information—this time with card skimmers. Consumers Credit Union is always here to help with fraud and security features, education and a dedicated team.
Watch out for card skimmers
It would be helpful to have a visual of what a card skimmer device look like when installed. Otherwise, I don’t think I would know whether there was one present.
Hi Barb, they strive to make them look no different than the device you are putting your card into. Most people would see no visual indication that there is a card skimmer installed.
Use tap cards whenever possible
I wish all card readers had the tap to skip. I don’t like the ones that don’t. Always looking for skimmers on Walmart devices. Try not to shop there any more.
Always good to know what is happening with fraud.
