Card skimming is on the rise and now causes over $2 billion in fraudulent charges each year. So, what is skimming? Skimming is a type of theft where crooks use a temporary device installed at the point of purchase to steal information from your debit or credit card. Crooks then sell your card information or use it to make fraudulent purchases. Most people hear of skimming at ATMs, but it can also happen at gas pumps and even restaurants.
