Too Long; Didn't Read
Thieves steal your credit or debit card information by attaching a device to the card reader at a gas station, restaurant, or other business. They can then use this information to make fraudulent purchases or withdraw money from your account. Skimming can happen anywhere so it's important to always be vigilant about protecting your information. You should check your credit card and bank statements regularly to make sure that all charges are legitimate. If you see a charge that you don't recognize, contact your card company right away.
