"they're really on top of everything. they were just kind of suspicious because they were here the next day - what are they doing the next morning, right?"as it turns out their suspicions were valid.not only had they installed a card skimming device on the machine...but they had also begun to attach a fake side panel with a camera to capture people's pins."right here, and then they put the device right here."manager john huh wasn't

working when it happened, but he's reviewed the surveillance thoroughly."david was kind of suspicious of them, so he told the other person to watch the camera and watch out for them, keep an eye on them, and then he realized that they were doing something with the atm machine so he decided to approach them and they just took off."immediately, the employee began removing the add-on pieces he could tell shouldn't be there.look at all the technology the crooks had been using...in order to steal people's money.police haven't caught the two men, but they have been sharing these pictures, hoping to get help finding them.officers also found a skimming device the same day at the 7-eleven across the street from teh chevron, so check your accounts carefully if you used that one last week."i am concerned, but i try to like keep on top of things."huh already has seals on the card readers at his gas pumps, and doesn't recall a skimming device being placed on the indoor a-t-m before this attempt.
