As far as scammers go, it seems like this is a pretty popular one these days…
I’m talking about credit card skimmers that allow scammers to steal the personal information of unsuspecting people.
A TikTokker named Amari posted a video and showed folks what happened when she encountered a skimmer at a convenience store.

The video shows Amari pulling the credit card skimmer off of a device at a 7-Eleven store in Van Nuys, California.
She said, “Don’t use your cards in places like this. They’re trying to steal your information.”

Amari said to the man working behind the counter, “Why are you acting confused? You know it was there.”
The worker tried to get Amari to leave the skimmer because he claimed he wanted to show it to his boss, but Amari walked out of the store with it.
