One of the biggest worries for credit card users is making sure there aren’t any skimmers on the card reader.

For years, people have been preying on credit card users placing these skimmers in places you would never expect.

What Is A Credit Card Skimmer?

Credit Card Skimmers are card readers that are mounted on top of a pin pad you would see at a checkout location of just about any store.

You may not notice anything strange at the checkout, but credit card skimmers are usually hiding in plain sight.

These devices are attached to regular PIN pads and steal your credit card info in seconds without you even realizing it.

They’re made to look exactly like your average pin pad, so most of us wouldn’t think twice before swiping. That’s why it’s pretty alarming that a store in New Jersey was just caught with one installed.
