How Do You Keep Yourself Safe From Credit Card Skimmers?

The Richland Police had some good tips to keep you safe from skimmers.

• Check the card reader closely. Does it look tampered with or strange in any way?
• Check the number pad to see if it moves or isn't secure. It should not pull apart easy.
• Check the area for cameras that might be stealing your pin. They could be very small so always cover your pin pad while entering your number.
• Use your debit as a credit card to keep from having to use your pin.
