Criminals are stealing millions of dollars from unsuspecting victims by installing debit card skimmers at stores.
The Romanian mafia is carrying out debit card skimming schemes by putting devices on self-checkout machines in stores to steal consumers' personal information. Prosecutors in California are spreading the word to warn the public about the manner in which the mob is operating.Some counties in Southern California, including Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and Santa Barbara, have seen roughly 15% of the Romanian mob activity in the U.S.
Authorities explain to FOX News that consumers should tug on a credit card swipe before inserting their card, and if it wobbles or falls off, the terminal is fake. FOX News reports that police have busted dozens of people, many of them connected to organized crime in Romania. Authorities have made large busts of these people linked to these crimes in December and January in the U.S.
