Credit Card Skimming Scheme Expands to Multiple Walmart Stores in Upstate New York

A credit card skimming scheme has targeted 15 Walmart stores across Central New York, the Southern Tier, and Maine. The scheme involved three suspects who installed skimming devices over existing credit card scanners. While each store is conducting its own investigation, surveillance footage shows that the same culprits are involved in all cases. Police have not confirmed any victims yet, but customers who paid with credit cards in the targeted lanes are advised to monitor their statements and report any unauthorized charges. Authorities are urging the public to help identify the suspects. Shoppers are advised to use mobile wallet services or tap-to-pay cards for increased security and to be vigilant for any signs of fraudulent devices.
