WILLISTON, N.D. (KFYR) - The Williston Police Department is warning the community about a scam at gas pumps.
Skimming devices are illegal card readers that can be attached to payment terminals. They grab data from your card’s magnetic strip. Then, the information it finds can be sold or used for fraud.
To keep yourself safe, the Williston Police Department said to check the pump panel, compare card readers, use debit cards, pay inside and monitor your bank and credit card accounts regularly.
