Skimming devices were found in at least seven Delaware Wawa stores on Saturday.
Delaware State Police are investigating reports of skimming devices found at all three Wawa stores in the Rehoboth-Lewes area. Similar devices were found at Wawas in Dover, Millsboro, Bethany and Camden. Those are being handled by those municipal police agencies.
“The investigations are in the early stages, and I am not able to provide any additional details,” says DSP’s Cpl. David Huynh.
He provided these tips regarding skimming devices:
- Check for a camera as they could be used to record the pin numbers being entered.
- Check for signs of tampering.
- Pull on the card slot and wiggle the keypad since the skimming devices are usually placed directly over the actual slot.
- If you find a possible skimming device, notify the business’ management.
- Monitor your banking or credit accounts for fraudulent transactions.
- Report any suspicious activity to law enforcement.
