Those table top card scanners are used exclusively in Europe. Why are we so far behind? I had my card cloned in New Orleans when the waiter took it out of my sight. It was a big hassle getting a new one.

That's interesting, but would that stop the crook from using your card?

Europe also had the more secure chip system...about a decade before us. :oops:

Does anyone remember if the local newspaper advertised the fact that a skimmer was found last July at the Shell station on 466a near Colony??

I remember reading about it. Not sure of the source.

I use Apple Pay at the pump and don’t use my card.

I use this to check for skimmers at pumps, it uses your cellphone's blue tooth.
