Fuel Station Skimmers: Primed at the Pump

February 13, 2015

I recall the first time I encountered an armed security guard at a local store. I remember feeling a bit concerned about the safety of the place because I made a snap assumption that it must have been robbed recently. I get the same feeling each time I fuel up my car at a filling station and notice the pump and credit card reader festooned with security tape that conjures up images of police tape around a crime scene.
