Skimmers can be placed right over the real card reader, and your credit card information can be taken without you even realizing it.

Paying Attention Could Protect You From Credit Card Fraud

As someone who never pays cash, I always use my credit card, so this is yet another reminder to pay closer attention and be a little more careful when out shopping.

There was a story recently about how a skimmer was found at 7-Eleven at Rutgers University-Camden, 330 Cooper Street, with another one found in Camden County at the Family Dollar, 5043 North Route 130, Pennsauken.

In this latest incident, Patch reports two more skimming devices were discovered at a local supermarket, Associated Supermarket, located at 6100 Westfield Ave, in Pennsauken.

"The devices were removed and have been seized by Pennsauken police for further investigation," according to the article.

"Police believe they were installed sometime in the week prior."

If you went shopping recently at Associated Supermarket in Pennsauken, you're being advised to check your account if you believe your information may have been compromised.
