About Credit Card Skimmers
Credit card skimmers are devices that are placed on card readers. When a victim swipes their card, the skimmer steals the card's information.
Then the scammer makes purchases with your card.
I have had my credit card information stolen due to a credit card skimmer. I woke up one morning to realize that over $1,000 was taken out of my bank account.
Unfortunately for me, my bank never paid me back. Some banks and credit card companies reimburse credit card skimmer victims. I unfortunately did not receive any help. Since then, I have set up protections to ensure it never happens again.
