    A few months back I had to get a new fuel card at my home terminal because 3 card skimmers were found on the fuel pumps at the Pilot in Sturbridge,MA!

    I found one of those tiny peep-hole cameras inside a bank in China. It was videoing the key pad at the ATM machine. Reported it immediately and a bank employee started dismantling it right then.

    That is what i like about the gas pumps at our two Walmarts. Flat faced and no way to attach a skimmer.

    Yeah, the dark web. Can even hire a hitman or buy weapons that were donated to Ukraine.
