Louisiana card skimming
Authorities in Louisiana are warning truckers about credit card skimmers on fuel pumps. The devices can be attached to fuel pumps and are used to copy card information. Officials say that if you are unsure if a skimmer is attached to your fuel pump, inspect the card slot and keypad by wiggling them with your hand. If either is loose, it could be a skimmer.
