At gas stations, skimmers can be installed in less than 30 seconds,
and they’ll record all your card data for collection by the bad guys. It’s an easy gig: Those pumps are often unattended late at night, and thieves can plug in their skimmers while pretending to get gas.
The skimmer stores the data, and the scammers return to grab the stolen credit or debit card numbers over Bluetooth, without touching the pump again.
Gas station owners aren’t likely to rush to make changes. It’s more expensive to upgrade pumps than ATMs.
