MOBILE, AL. Card scammers have been active in the Mobile area according to a recent alert from the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office.
These skimmers are at local businesses, and they capture your credit card or debit card numbers and then either duplicate your card or use the information to make online purchases.
“While finishing up your last-minute Christmas shopping, please take extra precautions when checking out,” the post said, noting they and the City of Mobile have received numerous complaints of skimmers being found on debit and credit card machines around the county.
The sheriff’s office says to take a close look at the machine before using it, and not to put your card anywhere near the device if anything looks off. Anything that looks suspicious should be reported to the business.
Businesses that find skimmers should call the MCSO at 251-574-8633.
“We are currently working with our federal partners to identify and apprehend the suspects,” according to MCSO.
