Texas Woman's Video Of Busting Credit Card Skimmer Goes Viral

Aren't they privately owned?

@@rondiggity1677 yes...and they know exactly how that scanner got there because they have the video footage.
(Liars)

Yeah this will get traced back to the owner and they'll get busted. No way this wasn't an inside job

They should tho.

@@jeffmccloud905 Yeah, something is fishy about that store... who knows, it might be the employees setting those devices up on that card readers. They have the video footage to prove them to the media... it's a complete BS lie.

Why is America so stupid and they still use magnetic stripe?
You're supposed to use chip and pin. That way this doesn't happen

And online you're supposed to use the visa secure thing or whatever

So obvious it's an inside job 😂

With single handedly

@@BurnCrushExecute 7/11 was an inside job!

Those gas stations private owned.

Not necessarily true there’s been plenty of times I’ve gone into gas stations and the employee is in the back it’s usually late at night when they are doing some cleaning but if the employee was distracted helping someone or doing other parts of the job someone could easily install a skimmer

There is about a thousand different ways it could have been wdym?

The whole story is suspect.

I have litterly seen videos where they distract the cashier and place it on the reader without the cashier ever noticing. All it takes is a few seconds to put on.

Anybody*

@@RyanREAX you know what they mean anyway

We know it’s the store manager. Gas station owners are notorious thieves.

@@bunnimina5110 “they?” Lol

@@RyanREAX this is literally the perfect context to use the word “them”. stop making grammar political

Yes!

Probably manager or employee.

Sexist

It's always an inside job.

Which Walgreens in Mpls? Just asking because I live downtown and go to the one on Nic/6th all the time

Omgggg

I hope that store manager is in jail now. Glad you won out in the end.

No way a store customer can stick a big skimmer on the reader sitting at the cashier fast enough without the employee noticing.

MOST of the time, it's the EMPLOYEE'S who are doing it.

Wonder how many stores are doing this?

She's so smart that she got scammed multiple times.

@@pathfinder3175 you say that like she fell for a pyramid scheme or something

@@pathfinder3175 She was scammed once, the card reader copies your card information and replicates it as many times as the fraudster needs.

Yes. However, she would have gotten her money back regardless...banks insure your money.

Most people would just let their banks handle it...

No because we rich don't use debit. Use it for life and no credit jump but cc I'm not liable up to 1m in purchase and its not my money. Never use a debit. Your liable until ubget ure money back. If u do.

@Reuben Morris The banks handle it by forcing you to prove this isn't a scheme you're in on.
They treat you like you're the criminal, and not the person whose money they're using to generate money from thing air with fractional reserve banking.
People who've never been through these things think they just call their bank and explain the misunderstanding, and it's suddenly all good and their money comes back.

@@Leo-gt1bx So you personally have removed a fake attachment from a credit card machine in a 7-Eleven and posted the video on KRplus as well?

@@hebneh No an ATM and the police did it.

I agree. We see it happening and they still acting like they don't know these things happen 🤦🏿‍♂️

The people who end up absorbing the costs are the merchants where the stolen card info is spent. Because when you report fraud they have to give the money back. You’re right, it should be where the card info was stolen.

Good to know

that's why she got her money back .. DUH! .. you don't really think the person who put the skimmer there paid her back? obivously that money was refunded by the 7-eleven shop manager or owner.

@@thebee9907 works like this for the banks i've used. transaction is "pending" until the claimant claims the funds. This period is usually less than 30 mins.
scammers use scam accounts, they pull the money out few times a day or at least once a day. that's the whole idea, by the time victims realize they got scammed .. money is already gone.
some banks might give it back out of courtesy, but scammers also get the money.
so don't talk if you know nothing, maybe in USA it works like this, but not in EU.

Journalists have to. It's so they don't get sued.

Everything is judge at court

It's a legal thing. Until the court decides otherwise, it is an allegation.

Allegation is used until there is a conviction in a court of law…come on now…

It is possible that 7-11 didn't do this. There is a scam where someone with a skimmer will come up to the counter with a purchase, ask for cigarettes or something behind the counter where the clerk has to be turned around and then will put the skimmer on the machine while they aren't looking.

Yes, stores should refuse to use credit cards. CASH is king!

Because there probably the ones who did it

Maybe he is the culprit. It’s weird he won’t make any kind of statement admonishing the skimmer in his store.

@@rogerdildeau7507 cash is not king though.
She lost $600 but she got it back. You may have a higher risk of losing money without direct physical contact, but how often will you get your cash back if it's stolen from you? It's a much less guarantee.
And businesses have less money to lose via theft either at the place of business or when depositing at the bank.
The tradeoff for consumers being the traceability of purchases and for businesses being fees taken from transactions. But to some that's a positive trade.
But no, nobody is going to stop taking credit cards.

Cameras in 7/11 all over that store. The police should hire Deidre. She would get the bad guys if she had more resources.

Yep!!

That's very sad, taking from the community smh

Exactly what I was thinking! Look at how to cashier pretends like they can't pull the skimmer off the cc machine.

To manufacture those scamming device require MASS PRODUCTION and planning from the TOP. Beyound local and regional management.
7/11 are full of shiet....

I had 1600 taken off one of my cards once. 1400 spent in 1 store in 2 days, in a store i have never shopped in. I asked for the videos and the clerk looked like he was sweating bullets. I asked the manager if he really thought it would be that hard to find the person who spent $100 14 times. Local police thought I was ripped off from that store and looked at their gas pumps only to find that they had skimmers too! It's an inside ring!!!

Agreed. “We don’t know who we are looking for as a suspect right now”…… ?? Employees? Overnight staff?? Cameras? This sounds so suspect

@@samanthagarcia99 what does the comment by the officer have to do with Jordan’s comment

Pretty standard procedure not to comment on any pending criminal investigation. It's unlikely corporate (who made the statement) was in on it, but they are likely too embarrassed by the fact that they signed on a franchise with corrupt employees to admit it.

FBI crime statistics - Table 43.

Yeah, I mean it's very obvious how it was attached the card machine. How an employee couldn't notice that is beyond me.

🤣😂

Right?

He was trying to secure it back on and she just popped it right off, lol

@@ZEBEEtheoriginal
Absolutely!
Majority of fraud, money laundering and card cloning are committed by the South Asian communities. Nothing to do with racism, just stats that you can look up and see who is in prison for what. A pattern occurs generally among certain groups for different crimes and percentile wise, this group stands there at the top for fraudulent activity.

Yeah let's just pretend murderers, rapists, and paedophiles don't exist, or hey let's pretend there's not a dictator who just launched a war killing hundreds of families across ukraine and destroying the rest of both thier own and Ukraine's civilian population. Lets just bury our heads in the sand...

Skimmers are EVERYWHERE! ATMs and vending machines are the biggest culprits. Be careful when you're making purchases somewhere unfamiliar.

The banks take the hit not the families

So who placed it on it...???employee...

I am pretty sure this isn't "the worst thing you can do to a family"...
I would argue that murder, r*pe, molestation, cannibalism may be a bit worse.

Now why in the world would police want the device returned to that 711 especially when it's a card skimmer.

I would of destroyed that skimmer.

@@Yumi_Jay Right. That part of the story obviously isn't true.

@@Yumi_Jay because cops hate having to do any real police work. They joined to harass and murder black people and get annoyed when you come to them with actual crimes

I think it's still theft even if you steal something bad... Law is really weird and there are protocols you need to go through to properly convict people. Some people can get off for things especially if the evidence was "stolen".

Sickening CEO’s not caring about those struggling or scammed.

The credit companies are money makers! I doubt they'll consider rewarding her! Crooks just like the ones that started these crimes!

why would the credit companies rewards her? as long as they get their money they wont care much

Yeah I don’t see any reason for rewards, considering these types of scams happen a lot anyways.

I only wish she had the chance to pop the person who did it in the nose. She is a mother trying to raise her child and someone tried to steal money from her.

I used to work at a gas station back in 2013 and we didn’t do it then. Maybe they weren’t a thing back then. I started checking gas pumps and atm machines before I put my card in them. I didn’t know they were being put on the readers like these though.

It's equally likely, if not more so, to be the owner/manager.

Fine it’s an employee. The establishment should be responsible for the stolen funds.

Used to work in retail asset protection had a manager who had a saying..." hire me at minimum wage and watch me steal thousands" we busted store managers and employees at every level...

Exactly, I call bull on the fact that they haven't checked cameras on the cashier.

Come on now, you don't think the police are doing just that?

@@PDXMILO it's a very easy process of elimination. They just request all of their footage dating back the last year or so and usually have a clip of the perp within like a month or two, and if they can't find the perp on the footage, they know it was one of the employees.

The owner refused to comment about the situation, most likely in on it. Glad that lady got her money babk.

​@@ShadowLancer128 No store ever keeps a years worth of footage. they usually only keep a few weeks worth of footage (storage is insanely expensive) Also, if they can't find who placed the skimmer on the reader, how can you assume it was the employees? theres no footage to confirm that theory.

@@ftx1834 yah but typically card scimmers are only at a place for a few days then they come back and take it that's what's making thing it's a empolyee or employee looking away becuase they numbers were recovered from it and was put back on that typically don't happen with the ones in stores cuz they don't wanna risk being on videos multiple.times

This is why some clerks make asking for a receipt such a hassle. They should hand you a receipt no matter what. If you don't want it, you can tell them. The card machine should ask you for a receipt and it should print it towards you like when you get gas. It's annoying asking for receipt.

there should be video of who ever did this unless it was an inside job and the video was erased

They nickel and dime you when giving back change on cash transactions too. I've had this happen at convenience stores and fast food places. Holding back a nickel, dime or quarter hoping you won't notice. Seems petty but it adds up for the dishonest employee over time. And the cash register accounting will always be correct at end of shift or when they do their daily balance.

I mean would they be stealing credit card info if they made enough money?

Yep!

Yes

Thank god she did, they have footage so they should arrest them all as suspects

This is why its good to have a CC and to always use it.
I once had my wife when we first got together use our debit card with tons of cash on it, and I told her never to do that.
Ironically some time after that I saw small 1-2 cent charges showing up on that card, immediately cancelled it.
If you got cash you care about, don't put it on the line.

This is why I use cash app card and only deposit $50 each time on the card for the purchase I make and refill on the need to go basis

@@thedreflacko smart, I should do that too

Someone could have distracted the employee by asking a question to get them away from the counter and then an accomplice placed it on there when the employee had their back turned.

I have a feeling the employee put it there. He didn't even try hard to take it off while she easily popped it off.

Lol this is why this old trick continue to still work in 2022. A good amount of people would never expect it.

Corporate, the store owner, manager and cashier are all responsible for the fraudulent activity.

@@janetsmith2104 are you a lawyer?

It didn't appear that way. But she was probably scared that the woman would assume she was so she stepped back to protect herself

@@ComradeSlice i find it hard to believe the casher didn't notice something was wrong with the tools they are responsible for having customers use, but on the flip side if I'm not being paid enough to care I wont bother to check the tools so up to the consumer

@@David-jt9nt the cashier doesn't even touch the Point of Sale terminal most of the time. They only touch the register.

That part 💯

Non compliance is a dead giveaway.

Watch the video closely and the worker even tries to protect/push the reader on before she just rips it off lol.

Yes. If this were like a ATM in an entryway or something, I could see some random crim being able to add that skimmer... but this was right on their flipping counter.

a customer can also pit the device on it whenever the cashier isnt looking

And brave.

@@veryslyfox Colin Flaherty's videos.

No, heaps of videos of this she clearly looked a video up since stupid enough to scan card without checking most people using card to lazy to just pay cash not like she works no rush.

@@basillah7650 The real victim here is the English language.

That's what I was thinking.

Right? Too many cameras. Generally speaking, police do not give out information in an ongoing investigation if they can help it. I think she just told that to the reporters so there would be no follow up questions about it, thereby not revealing to the criminal that they are on to them. If no possible tampering is seen with the camera tapes, then they could be investigating the possibility of an inside job.

Actually the store isn’t on it. We actually had training on this when I worked at Victoria secret last year. They’ve caught a couple people doing it and whenever you aren’t watching or have your head turned from the Moneris machine, they install it. It is VERY quick and literally takes 2 seconds to put. We got trained to check the moneris machines frequently but trust me that it DOES happen and most employers aren’t aware
The way you can tell is that the extra keypad is BULKY so youll be able to see a different. You don’t want to insert like they said as this scam is mostly targeted to people who still insert. Tapping is the way to go.

@@madeline7894 it was a convenience store. How many convenience stores have you walked into and no one was at the register?

Nah bro I seen them stick one on a ATM, they’re snap-on, actually insane.

Actually, from a security standpoint, you shouldn't be trusting devices you don't own.
In the ideal situation, you scan a QR/NFC so you get a popup on your own device that says what amount goes to who before you authorize the payment.

@Major Cbass Not an option when the elite wants to get rid of all cash payment options...

To catch a criminal you meet to think like one.

Your racist for saying that

Yea once you put away your phone, you start to realize normality.

It came off in like 1 second, I am sure they got it on in just a few.
What do you think 7-11 employees expert security forces with trained mission readiness to find a card skimmer in the works?
All it would take is someone else in the store to go, "Hey, can you help me with this, it's not working."
Person at the front desk goes, "Huh, uh?"
Other person slips it on.
Not saying that an employee couldn't be in on it, would make the operation easier but there is also a risk because then the employee will be looked into as well as associates, better to be random but then again criminals don't think to hard sometimes.

Actually that's _exactly_ how they get there... someone walks into the store, while an employee isn't at the register. They just pull it out of a purse or so, and slip it right on. Takes 5 seconds.
But yes, I agree that it is very likely that one of the 7-11 employees is a potential suspect.

its a 7/11... they were probably the ones who put the skimmer on in the first place 😅

@@KatTheFoxtaur Right, and if they get caught they look at the 18 year old kid and go, "Oh your faceplate was coming off."

How do you know she has street smarts? Maybe just insightful

how is that street smarts? Basically everyone that have worked in retail knows about this lol. Got absolutely nothing to do about the streets. XD

@@dp7047 Do you really need it run by for you?Ok...
She appears to have known exactly what to look for with regard to a fake "front" on the machine.
After her bank called her, she states that she thought back to a pack of chips she bought at a convenience store. She went right over to the convenience store. She states she compared one machine to the other. Then she felt along the side of it and noticed there was a gap.
Her own video shows her taking over when the clerk, who was working, couldn't get the false front off, which contained the skimming device. She grabbed that machine and popped that false front right off, like she'd done it before.
THAT is how I know she possesses at least some street smarts.

​@@andreaskarlsson5251 Alright drama queen. Everyone? Are you blind, or just often overly dramatic in a desperate attempt to prove your point.
Clearly you FAILED to notice that the clerk in this video DID NOT notice the false front, and couldn't get it off once she was told it was false, which is why she took over and popped it off like she'd done it before.
So, not terribly "smart" of you to miss that...

@@dp7047 Streetsmarts is being award of all the scams out there and she obviously was informed.

I have this and I love it, had this happen to me once. It was attached to an atm. Every single purchased now I get a text message.

Why not bank just step up and improve. When a card is swipe it will authenticate with the bank on the user password and if it has the amount of money to deduct. So it's just a improvement at the bank side instead of user having a password user will have absolutely no password at all it will be a rolling pin where user use a bank app to generate a one time used pin code.

Yep. I monitor everything very closely. I know what I have and how much of it, I have everything set to alert me and every account is freezable. When I thought I lost my wallet somewhere in the truck, I decided to wait until I was at a truck stop after delivering to look for it. Until a purchase popped up at a store I can't physically fit in the lot of with a semi truck. Then I froze everything and started making phone calls immediately. I still can't believe someone stole my wallet right out of my truck while I was shutting my trailer doors. Now, I NEVER EVER EVER leave my truck unlocked, for any reason.

This is such a good tip. I started doing this when I noticed suspicious activity on my mobile service provider account, on top of a LOT of random newsletter sign up emails (about 100+) to hide their activity.

@@wolfbrave4866 perhaps an option to hold payments over a certain amount unless confirmed on an app?

Apple Pay bby

Chips won’t matter if you pay at the gas pump. Your card will still be insert in a way that the mag stripe can be read.
Not sure about card readers inside but could be possible for the skimmer to read the mag stripe even though only part of it is in there. Despite the card reader trying to read the chip; the skimmer overlaying it could be using the mag stripe information.

This made me think about a gas station I went into the other day where the cashier was complaining about “lazy people” who were using the tap feature on their cards. He claimed people who did that was to lazy to swipe it and put in their pin. And said that when people tap instead of swipe or use the chip they are charged more. He said that they are charged 10 cent more per gallon of gas if they tap the card bc it runs as credit.

Wow never knew thanks!

Yeah, I refuse to swipe my card anywhere.

Exactly

Honestly I could see how it could happen. Busy day at the store, "customer" asks for a pack of smokes and installs the skimmer when the cashier turns around. Seeing how easy she removed the skimmer should alarm you how easily one of these can be installed.
That said, what gas station doesnt have cameras pointed at the register? Should be able to check surveillance.

These are typically 7/11s

@@UncleJack420 the problem with that is with cameras rolling all day ( and possibly night) unless you have a idea of roughly when it was installed, there is so much footage that would need to be manually watched that it would be insane go through it all.
