CFCA members in Southern California have recently reported a noticeable rise in both fuel theft and card skimming incidents at fueling sites. These crimes not only create costly losses for businesses but also put customers’ financial security at risk.
Now is the time to remind your teams to stay alert. A few key actions include:
- Check dispensers regularly for any signs of tampering.
- Watch for suspicious activity at the pump.
- Train employees on what to look for and how to respond quickly.
To help station operators and staff protect their sites, CFCA has developed a one-page guide that outlines:
- What card skimming is and how it works
- Steps you can take to help prevent devices from being installed
- What to do if you discover a skimming device
