Roanoke County, Virginia – The Roanoke County Police Department is warning locals to be on the lookout for credit card skimmers as the holiday season heats up with more shopping and spending.
During this busy time of year, there is increasing concern about these devices, which are used by crooks to create counterfeit cards and steal card details.
It is important for people to take precautions because local law enforcement, especially the Roanoke County police, has difficulty prosecuting fraud cases utilizing skimmers.
Use safer payment options like cash, contactless pay, or a digital wallet to safeguard your credit card information during the Christmas rush. Additionally, before putting or swiping your card at each point of sale, make sure to check card readers for skimmers.
By being vigilant and following these guidelines, you can protect your financial data and have a stress-free holiday season.
