Three credit / debit card skimming devices were recently recovered by the Gates, NY Police Department. The skimmers were located at the Walmart store on Chili Avenue and at Dollar General stores on Chili Avenue and Spencerport Road.
Skimming devices fit over credit / debit card machines and can transmit your card and PIN numbers to remote devices and compromise your information.
Gates P.D. asks that you contact them if you notice any other devices. Often you can pull them off with your hands. If it doesn’t look right you can always say something to the store employees, and they will help you out!
