Better Business Bureau warns customers to be mindful of card skimming schemes.
“If you have to jiggle your card to make it work that’s a red flag,” added Donaldson. “If the keypad’s a little sticky or seems a little odd or having problems with some of the numbers, make a different kind of payment.”
Donaldson says you can use the tap feature on a card or an electronic wallet like apple pay to avoid using a card reader. If you notice any unauthorized charges from your account. You need to act fast. “They need to contact their bank immediately,” said Donaldson. “They need to freeze their credit immediately and see if any of their other cards have been compromised.”
Donaldson also says if you notice a skimmer on a card reader you should contact the business and the police as soon as possible.
