These two have been seen getting gas at 1604 & SoneOak.

Too I think I saw the older dude without the beard hanging around town someplace, at the time I thought he is a pimp like those selling it on the Riverwalk.

Willing to bet some provider knows who these creeps are, maybe not here but certainly on BP.


I would post the photo SAPD have up but I do not know how... so sorry you will have to log off of here and then go to SAPD to see the mugshots. Be sure to clear cookies before you log into FB! Or use TOR.

I recently was a victim of a similar deal. They got a pile out of me before the bank stepped in. Fortunately I got it all back, but they even had my PIN number. No more using a debit card for me.

Move to proper forum.

Not an alert, in a ECCIE sense.

OT

When ever I go to use an ATM or a gas pump you can use a card with I always inspect the slot for the card for anything that does not appear to belong there. Most skimmers can be found by grabbing the molding that surrounds the card slot and testing if it is loose. I have found several skimmers that way. When I find one I report it to the operators of the establishment and move on to another machine at another location. One time I found more than one skimmer at the pumps of one gas place belonging to a well known chain.

Be vigilant. The criminality is out there.

Just a shake of the housing will do it, Mokoa?

Good to know. I've only seen them online and they are stealthy little buggars.

Never use the Debit option.

Sometimes, yes. They vary in quality just like everything else and the ones I found were not the best. I had no idea how long they had been there before I discovered them. Most folks will not even check. If they just insert and remove their card without messing with it, it will not move and they will never know what just happened. Scammers count on that.

I have yet to encounter one at a Bank ATM.

Stay vigilant.

Oh yeah...and someone snagged my recycle bin if anyone knows anything.
