Have You Heard of This Scam?
The Tom Joyner Morning Show, a radio show on 104.1, discussed scams. A scam expert told listeners about some of the top scams. I was surprised to hear about one scam in particular. Here’s how it works. You go to a gas station and decide to pay for your gas at the pump using your debit card. So, you key your PIN number in at the pump like you have done about a million times.
You don’t know that there’s a video camera aimed right at the keypad. The crooked gas station gets a copy of the receipt with your credit card number on it. Now, they also have your PIN. You should always hide your PIN number when keying it in at any public place, including gas stations and grocery stores. You never know who may be watching.
