Citizens can reduce the likelihood of becoming a victim by following the below tip.
- Pay inside at the gas station, instead of paying at the pump.
- If not using cash, always pay with a credit card, not a debit card, for better fraud protection.
- If using a debit card, run it as a credit card instead of putting in a PIN number.
- Consider using a refillable prepaid card to purchase gas at the pumps.
- If you haven’t done so already, switch to a chip reader on your card.
- Regularly monitor your bank statement for fraudulent activity.
- Report fraudulent activity to your local law enforcement agency.
