Fraudsters target older gas pumps, which are easier to target, according to the police department.
The best way to avoid being a victim of credit card skimming is to use upgraded pumps, which are encrypted. Motorists can also pay with cash at the pump instead.
In one location, at a gas station in the 3100 block of S. WW White Road, police picked up two skimmers on one call.
