According to the National Association for Convenience Stores:
- 37 million Americans refuel every day.
- Of them, 29 million pay for fuel with a credit or debit card.
- When skimming occurs at a gas station, it usually takes place at only one pump.
- A single compromised pump can capture data from 30 to 100 cards per day.
In the past, credit card scammers had to return to the fuel pump or ATM to retrieve their skimmers. Today, the scammers are using Bluetooth technology to glean your credit card or debit card information. The crime is called bluesnarfing or blue skimming, and the scammers can sit 100 of yards away in their vehicle while credit and debit card information is transmitted to their laptop. The deScammer™️ will detect the presence of these known Bluetooth transmitters that are commonly used by the scammers.

The red light flashes while searching for illicit signals that come from credit card skimmer! once it is done detecting about 6 seconds than you will see either a green or red light on the unit. Green mean safe Red means SCAM!
How to stop credit card skimming with the deScammer™️
Step 1. Plug in USB cable and charge fully before use. A green light will appear once fully charged.

Step 3. Stop and Physically look at the credit card reader. Not all skimmers, especially older ones, have a Bluetooth transmitter, so no device will help you detect them. Always take a look at the card reader to see if it looks different than the rest of the equipment in either color or age. Grasping the card reader and giving it a tug can also detect when a skimmer has been slipped over the card reader. Always use detectors and physical security.
