Police want you to be on the lookout for a new scam you could see at your the gas station.
"Some of the gas stations are moving towards contactless payment system, which is designed to cut down on skimming and ID theft," said Aurora Police Detective Sgt. Dan Courtenay. The holes force customers to swipe their card for payment. Thieves have then placed skimming devices on these damaged machines and stealing card information."When you damage that contactless payment screen, the pump will automatically default back to the card swipe system," said Courtenay.
Aurora Police said its Economic Crimes Unit can inspect pumps if someone believes it has been tampered with.
