1 In Sumter County, at 22 E C 470 Lake Panasoffkee and two in Marion County, at Ocala and Summerfield.

Skimmers were inside the pumps and would not be noticed unless the seal is observed broken.

The suggestion to use pumps near the office (since they are more visible) is probably a good idea.

I've noticed some Shell stations have changed their pumps and have a sign on them saying that they are tamper proof or something to that effect.

Last time this happened to me, the charge was $50 and the CC company removed the charge without any problems. I tend to use cash and the only time I swipe a CC, is when I am, at Sam's.

So far no problems. :smiley:

Our fix is to purchase the prepaid gas card when Publix sells a $50 card for $40. You get the cash price at Marathon at Pinellas. I don't know about the other cards and stations.

you would think installing the skimmers would be recorded by surveillance cameras at some of the gas stations.

Frightening and angry making.

Jerks. GET A JOB is what I would like to say to them.
