Do you know this man?
The Oakland Police Department is searching for a man suspected of applying a skimmer device on the credit card machine at 7-11 on Grand Ave.
According to OPD Facebook page...
A skimmer is a machine that is installed on a credit/debit card reader and collects a person’s card number and pin information. Often these devices are found at ATMs and gas stations. Although skimmers can be hard to spot, it’s possible to identify the device by doing a visual and physical inspection.
Unfortunately, skimmer device use by criminals is on the rise. Before you use any ATM or credit card device at the gas station or store, be sure there is nothing attached to the machine.
