Police in Taylor are looking for the guys who placed a credit card skimmer on an employee manned register at Walmart in Taylor. Police say it took only seconds to install, but here's the part that's unbelievable: NO ONE NOTICED IT FOR TWO WEEKS!
I can understand if the skimmer was at a gas station, where bandits sneak in during the dead of night to install the skimmer when no one is around. But, this was a crowded big box stores, with cameras everywhere. Police suspect one guy installed the skimmer while the other three distracted the cashier. I get that. There is just so much here that makes absolutely no sense.
You would think a store with people all over the place would be safe. Guess again. So many cards are tap-and-go now. Obviously, we need more, along with better technology in stores. Walmart also needs people to make the rounds to check their machines on a regular basis.
I guess you aren't safe anywhere these days.
