Two men face a total of 58 charges for allegedly installing skimmers at five Kroger stores in Lexington. Skimmers are devices installed on card readers that thieves use to collect card numbers for their use or to sell. Heather Clary is the community and media relations coordinator with the Better Business Bureau serving greater Kentucky and southern Indiana.
“The first sign that something is wrong with the machine, you're using the ATM or the gas pump, the card gets stuck in a chip reader, it seems to have a tighter than normal grip on your card, you know, there could be a shim inside there.”
