The following suggestions on how to avoid becoming the victim of skimming devices has been provided by Delaware State Police. 

  • Check for a camera as it could be used to record the PINs being entered & avoid using the debit payment option where PINs are required.

  • Tap-to-pay is currently the most secure method of payment, followed by the EMV chip payment method.

  • 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 anyone finds a possible skimming device, notify the business management.

  • Monitor banking or credit accounts for fraudulent transactions.

  • Report any suspicious activity to law enforcement.

State police continue to investigate this incident. Anyone with information or who may have witnessed this incident is urged to contact DSP at (302) 752-3806.
