Credit Card Skimmers Discovered at Oahu Supermarkets, Public Alerted

Honolulu police have issued a warning to the public after credit card skimmers were discovered at self-checkout registers in supermarkets across the island. The skimmers, which are attached to actual card readers, scan credit and debit card information when a card is used. The devices can be difficult to spot but can be identified through visual and physical inspection. Authorities advise checking for alignment issues between the card reader and the panel underneath it, comparing the card reader to others nearby, and looking out for any differences. Employees should be notified of any tampered terminals, and affected individuals should contact their credit card companies and monitor their accounts for fraudulent activity.
