Noted on Fakebook, are reports of gas pump skimmers. WaWa and a few Fasttop's have been reported. Better to just go inside and pay at the register.

If they have tap to pay that won't get caught by a skimmer. Problem is half the pumps that have it don't have it turned on.

I got caught by one at the beginning of the month at Sheetz. I always check to see if there’s anything stuck to the machine, but apparently this was inside of it. It was easy to figure out where it was picked up at, the card has only been used twice once in October and once in December. Two weeks later I’d bought $20K worth of flooring

It amazes me that they supposedly have surveillance and yet criminals can make changes in full view of cameras.
Beside that, they should be doing a check on their equipment to make sure it's in proper working order.
I'd consider holding the store liable as their negligence enables criminal action.

I'll let the CC company fight that out with them since they are ultimately the ones that took the loss.

Gas Station (WaWa or Shitz) doesn't lose anything, all the other vendors got ripped off.
GS got paid.
You have to deal with the credit report impact, making the phone calls and the other inconveniences.
GS got paid, they made a profit.
BUT
IF everyone who got ripped off by the skimmer (class action lawsuit) filed complaints, including emotional distre$$
Now you get GS to actually take some precautions to protect their customers.
