There’s an alert from law enforcement officials about credit card skimmers turning up at some South Coast gas stations.
The skimmers secretly planted on gas station pumps can steal your credit and debit card information, and wirelessly transmit it to thieves.
Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office officials say multiple devices have been discovered on pumps in the Carpinteria area.
Investigators say to avoid having your personal information stolen, pay in cash, or go into the store to use your credit or debit card.
