That’s why I always use cash. Most places give you a discount as well.

They don’t care about citizens getting scammed. In the video they mentioned EBT cards are the “most targeted” and those are used at grocery stores which is why we barely saw any gas station visits in this video. They only care about EBT cards getting scammed because it’s government money.

7-11's are thee worst. They should've checked those stores out knowing they are the most vulnerable n visited stores ppl go to a lot.

Yes. Gas stations and convenience stores. It looks good publicity wise when stopping at a Target.

7 eleven also but I just use tap to pay which is very secure 😌

Yeah - Target and Walmart are skip-scanners' domain.

Yep, gas stations and convenience stores

A lot of these skimmers at convenience stores are installed by either the owner or one of the employees. That's where they need to be looking.

7-11 mostly. Damn Indians and Pakistanis🤦🏾‍♂️

It's just for show. They just don't want to do too much paperwork. 😁😁😁

And the Seven Elevens.

They literally did in this video lmao

Bro I can’t buy chips without the guys watching me. It has to be the employees who install them

@@lopez6617 Probably so, question is whether it's the owner or employees doing it.

The skimmer is inside the gas pump, so sticking something in the slot or pulling on it does nothing. These agents are retarded.

#2 reason is transaction fees. Think about it: you go to an atm and unless its your own bank, they charge a transaction fee. You go ahead and do it because you need the cash at the moment and there isn't any other option. Now imagine that everything goes cashless. Who's to stop the managing financial institutions from charging transaction fees? I mean, they are literally already doing it, so the foot is a bit *more* than just already in the door. You will of course be hit with TWO transaction fees for every transaction, just like many banks do with ATMs already. Really. Give it a second to stop and think about. Two transaction fees on every single purchase, on top of the sales tax, which is already on top of the income tax... and voters will have absolutely NO say on transaction fee amounts (not that we *_really_* have any say on the tax amounts either)... Sounds wonderful, right?!! Sign me up!!! LOL

Not the #1

Phones are fine, credit cards (with tape readers and even with chip readers) are not. The highest levels of bank encryption and security exist on ines phone - if it is set up properly. Ones phone can be the highest security device that one will ever own.

Nope ​@@ronaldckrausejr7762

@@bgmullins A few banks allow a certain number of ATM fees a month from machines that aren’t theirs to be refunded. That’s why it you’re a veteran or are eligible through a family member then open up a checking account with USAA. They allow up to 10 refunded ATM fees a month.

they done that at a gas station where my daughter works an the guys that installed it parked somewhere down the road so they wouldn't be seen on cameras so some of em are halfway start

Majority are illegal immigrants who are paid by organized gangs and such. Nothing will happen to these people who are caught except maybe deportation but they will come back across the open border in a day or so.

Then go ask for their cut

Gas stations usually don't keep footage long enough. Most businesses keep it a maximum of 30 days before it's automatically deleted to save space. All the more so for the cheap or run down gas stations. Even if they did have footage of it it's highly unlikely you'll either see their face or catch a plate.

1:58 tap to pay an chips can be skimmed too. just as easily as skimmed too. you dont even have to use a check out station to have your card data stolen. anybody can just walk up next to you with a hand held device an scan ur pockets or purse and get your card info. like really the idea the news person is talking about tap to pay or chips are safer. is a flat out lie. if you dont have your card in a wallet with a rfid blocking shield then ites easy as heck to scan ur card. also top to pay skimmers and chip skimmers can be installed on the POS terminals too.

They are lmao

Yes. Show up at these locations when it's later in the evening.

Changed the skimmer device with each shift change we thought when I worked in fraud at a bank a while back. 🤔

Its Roma/Gypsy traveling in a rented Van/SUV, all across the USA.

3rd 🌎 business front men!!!

Taco bell drive thru, they caught the 19yo guy and like 20 more people involved.

So the ENTIRE CAR INDUSTRY is shut down due to HACKERS and the SS is looking for HACKERS putting SKIMMERS ON GAS STATIONS?/ Yea, they are in on it

You mean stores that minorities frequent. 😳

Our gas stations give .10 off per gallons for cash and that's what I always use.

Cashiers need to stay at the register. My local dollar store the cashiers are never at the register.

@@goldieslacks Because they refuse to hire more help. Cashiers are stocking shelves, sweeping floors, answering phones, etc.

Or contactless payment. Never been skimmed.

100% the best way! Cash is king when it comes to paying for anything

@@mariposavioleta9007 Not for much longer.

Coming soon to you: what cash??

The govt doesn’t want us to use cash so they can control us. Thanks Biden Idiocracy

I did get skimmed at Target several years ago. A lot of ppl did that year. But that was a ling time ago. I agree they are mostly in those little markets on no-name atms

A lot of these skimmers at convenience stores are installed by either the owner or one of the employees. That's where they need to be looking.

Nothing is gonna be done until you use your second amendment

The person is still getting food with it, though, so it's a lower priority.

​@@sheldoneuos shoot a restaurant owner over EBT fraud? Huh?

You report because a store was selling food stamps for money? You don't know why some of these parents might need the money for? Y'all really weird with y'all jobs. Mind ya business and keep it pushing. You a real weirdo fr

Judging from your name and picture you look like you got fed w a golden spoon soo🤷🏽‍♂️

*Sounds like a bunch of hot air to me*

Never use your ATM card to purchase anything. Get a credit card

@marlynamcburney5253 My neighbor went to Mcdonalds drive thru to get some food for her kids. Two days later she gets a notice saying someone spent $3.5k on her card on a cruise ship off the coast of The Greek Islands. Eventually her Bank reimbursed her.

This is scary,, Wawa free air . I paid 2.50 for air unknowingly

Reimbursed or NOT! I DONT LIKE BEING A VICTIM!

The news is doing a wonderful job in helping the scammers by telling them their skimmers are being targeted. Try releasing the story AFTER the search is atleast completed for a day.

But Nobody is getting caught.

sadly, the are protecting a convicted felon, as we type.

whereas crooks who steal from themselves are allowed a second chance

@@ThatOpalGuy MLK and Malcolm X were also "convicted felons"... btw soon Biden's son will also be a "convicted felon"

Oh we can't do THAT!!!!!!!

get it right thats not money you are working for. its currency. real mony holds its value over long periods of time and cant be inflated. the real thives are the ones who have our country over 30 trillion in debt. them dollars are just worthless pecies of paper in realality and have no real value. they used to be back by gold. but not any more since the 70s when nixion abolished the gold standard. that was the last nail in the coffin. now all we have to back its value global demand for it and military force which we used to keep the dollar as the reserver currence forcing the rest of the world to use dollars to trade with on the global markets. if your country wants oil you must first have dollars to buy it with. or any other commodity on the global market. you see why our country can never not be at war. we will allways have to be at war against any nation that wont accept our dollars. or is trying to make their currecny the reserver currency. and as history shows the nation with the strongest and best military gets to have the reserver currency. plenty of people have died for this and plenty more in the future will too. and theres nothing the average person can really do about it. unless we make a whole new system but that will eventually get corrupted too. like how do people not know a corrpted money system was one of the main reasons for the revolutionary war. history allways repetes itself. cuz humans really never learn from it. the ones who do come out on top.

nobody mentions using tech for purchases is how they track your purchases, and eventually control your purchases too..

With cash, you will just increase the number of robberies

your are correct. but the idiots on here saying cashless is safe lmao complete idiots. they dont know rfid skimmers or scanners exist and anybody can intercept signals from ur phone and clone them. tap to pay skimmers exist too.

That would make too much sense so they wont hold them accountable

bet you half the time its the store owners or employees put the skimmers there. you put too much faith in people.

LOL.. this government does not serve us.

Only because they are losing money. Notice how they focused on EBT (food stamp) cards and mentioned how since they don't have tap to pay or chip's they are easy targets for thieves. So when they extract money from EBT cards they're stealing from the government.

My thoughts as well 😑

Odd that it takes the SS to do this.

Notice [they] only got upset when government EBT funds were misappropriated. [They] do not serve us.

And they organized with local law enforcement and local organizations. They didn’t just bully their way in, they followed proper channels

​@@alphagt62 that's probably how it is most of the time. They don't bully local leo like in the movies

What EXACTLY does it have to do with the Secret Service? Local Police could have done this exact same thing LONG ago without Federal intervention. Hell, the store chains themselves could have done it without Police intervention AT ALL.

@@bigbossimmotal I’m not real sure either? But I know that the secret service has always been the agency that deals with counterfeit money, I’m not sure of the connection?

@@alphagt62 Exactly. As far as I know, they are responsible for presidential/diplomat security and the mint Police. That's it. Too many people are far too dependent on our Federal Government for everything, then whine about the size, scope, and expense of our Federal Government. It makes no sense to me.

if you do it electronically it can be.

Very true. Merchant services companies should provide them to all their retail clients. The retailers should require it as part of their daily opening and closing routines. It would only take seconds or minutes depending on how many terminals there are, but would save thousands of dollars.

@@Precursor-co7up The 3-4 "pit bosses" standing around the front of the store instead of in a check stand could just as easily use those cards and keep an eye on what is going on too.

or, just make machines that are not prone to this.

many times, owners / managers are in on it

Well managed stores already do it.

The Secret Service falls under the Dept of Homeland Security. And since a lot of the stolen funds are going overseas, this is completely in their wheelhouse.

The secret service was founded by the department of the treasury to track monetary crimes. This is literally one of the Secret Service’s primary jobs.

exactly

That's what the Secret Service does. Before that it was the job of the local police. If they can't or won't do their job properly talk to them or your local government.

and will know for sure if the moment EBT stops being stolen, that the skimmer crackdown stops. whichever organization started targeting this to expose the theory, "thanks for proving the theory"

As they said, it was 472 businesses statewide, getting 13 skimmers. It seems to be a pilot program, and public outreach

They didn't come anywhere. They are from Jacksonville

@@turtleneckferret Oh really? I had no idea. LOL I didn't know that SSA were everywhere and I was surprised that the SSA was even investigating i thought they made a special trip LOL but now I know thank you

A lot of these skimmers at convenience stores are installed by either the owner or one of the employees. That's where they need to be looking.

@@BRM202 got proof?

That is why I NEVER use a debit card. With a charge card there are numerous gates to taking money. The first, that I experience when I got skimmed at a local shell station is that my card was immediately canceled but the credit card company. They recognized that numerous charges were made in south Florida, while I was still in North Florida. They also call me to confirm any unusual larger charges before clearing them. But in the meantime, my money in the bank has been safe.

My question is what are they doing? Because they have no legal ability to do this. They are just the protective service for the president, nothing else. (AKA Gloified bodyguards)😊

​@SilvaDreams secret service agents are federal law enforcement officers. They're 1811 criminal investigators just like FBI, DEA etc. Their primary focus is financial crimes such as counterfeit currency or in this case credit card fraud

EXCELLENT JOB OF BRINGING THAT UP!!!! Great point......

​@SilvaDreams you need to do basic research about the duties of the Secret Service 🙊

I love my orange clown supporters, they never fail to deliver their ignorance.😂

pretending to care, and further, only bothering at all because its the government's money being stolen

O only get cash from a bank teller.

Use tap and pay with your phone...

Yeah, we'll start with you first, since you seem to know about the operation, obviously you're in on it.

Credit cards are a scam. I think they charge vendors a 3% transaction fee and the customer pays 9-29% in unpaid balances.

@@woodstream6137also- no credit, no card

It is not just protecting the president. The Secret Service used to investigate counterfeiting. Found this quote, "but it is credit card fraud, wire and bank fraud, computer network breaches, ransomware, and other cyber-enabled financial crimes that have become the focus of much of the Secret Service investigative work." I think they were investigating counterfeiting as early as the 1800s.

I user a prepaid card and never have more than $50 on it. I get an alert on every transaction too.

​​@@woodstream6137 I drive a diesel truck, $50 fills the tank about 1/3 full 😅 but that is a good idea. Edit: I have had issues with pre paid cards not working at some places.

Gas stations have tap to pay now.Some of them near me

@@woodstream6137 The transactions they put on it are like $30 because they dont want you to notice, or if you do notice they want it to be so cheap that you just don't report it because it's not worth not having your cards work for like 2-3 weeks for $30.

Because someone stole your info, either in FL or online. Then cloned the card, and used it in Oklahoma.

Lol seriously the secret service is just a bunch of glorified bodyguards.

At 2:36 he used a plastic insert to check the chip-reading slot. It was provided by the chain to fit their specific terminals. If a skimmer had been inserted, the plastic would not have inserted as far.

@@EinsteinsHair I wasn't sure that was what they were checking for.But I think you're right. I think they call these new gadgets "shimmers"?

We only have half the story - find the devices

Yes! I just left a comment saying Walmart and Kroger need to update. I forgot about Home Depot.

its the feds' money being stolen thats why theyre suddenly taking action

They only care about EBT because you're stealing from the government.

The IRS should be abolished.

@@user-mh2ye9nf3y Yes but till then put them to work on finding skimmers.

Most of the skimmers are from India/Pakistan.

Specifically gas pumps. The electronics go inside the pump, and most people wouldn't know what they were looking at anyway if they opened it. They work at a gas station they're not experts in electronics.

Just as easy for the Employees to take a Quick Picture of Your Card.

I pay after I pump my gas. Because I dont live in a predominantly white area so we dont have to worry about theft. (You think I'm fukkin joking?)
