In Carson City, the Sheriff’s Office has recently discovered skimmers at a local business and is urging caution for all businesses in the area. These devices capture account numbers and pin numbers when customers insert their cards for payment, and they could potentially be found in other businesses that have not yet been checked.
The CCSO is encouraging all businesses to check their point-of-sale keypads for any suspicious devices that may be skimmers. If a skimmer is found, businesses are asked to contact non-emergency dispatch at 775-887-2677 in Carson City and avoid tampering with the device. It is essential for shoppers and business patrons to remain vigilant about their credit/debit cards and bank accounts, and to report any suspicious transactions immediately to their financial institution.
If you believe you have been a victim of a skimmer, it is crucial to report it to law enforcement during business hours and follow the instructions provided by your financial institution regarding card cancellation, replacement, and reporting. Anyone with information about the skimmers should contact the sheriff’s office or Secret Witness at 775-322-4900.
The Carson City Sheriff’s Office emphasizes the importance of being alert and proactive in protecting your financial information from skimming devices. Stay informed about this issue and report any suspicious activity to help prevent fraudulent activities and protect your personal data.
