www.familyhandyman.com/article/credit-card-skimmer-at-gas-pumps"Knowing how to identify a gas pump skimmer is the first step in protecting yourself from this common scam. Drivers are keeping a close eye on gas prices, which are at an all-time high. But a lack of cheap gas isn’t the only issue you might face when filling your tank. A gas pump skimmer can do a real number on your bank account...." My notes: Focuses on the main points: 1. What are credit card skimmers? 2. How does a gas skimmer work? 3. Do card skimmers work on chip cards? 4. What does a credit card skimmer look like? 5. How do I know if my gas pump has a skimmer? 6. How can I protect myself at the gas pump? 7. What should I do if I think my card has been skimmed?

I used to pay cash at the pump to avoid this, but with everything in my area gone to pre-paid only or credit cards I've started to use my card at the pumps. I just hope no such devices are used at the pumps I go to in my area.

Yes, they sure are becoming more prevalent nowadays. We use our Costco card for gas, etc, so I feel better about that
