    They'd be better off checking Gas stations.

    If they could skim shareholder dividends or capital gains, Congress would get involved in a hurry.
  • If they were ACTUALLY looking for skimmers, they would have gone to gas stations in Broward. This was just for show.
  • @BRM202
    A lot of these skimmers at convenience stores are installed by either the owner or one of the employees. That's where they need to be looking.
  • I hate thieves. People work hard for their money and these thieves work hard to steal it.

    #1 reason we shouldn't be forced to go cashless.
  • @melisaco79
    They need to go to gas stations, Dollar Trees, Family Dollar stores, 7-11s, Dollar General stores.
  • Ah the old days when you handed someone money for a transaction and didn't have to worry that your bank account would be drained
  • @gwenna1161
    this is why going cashless is high risk. if they don't accept cash... just leave what you bought and walk
  • @jjman533
    If they find a skimmer, then seize the video footage to see who put them there.
  • How about, Step Three: prosecuting the criminals who place these devices?
  • So now that they are hitting EBT there searching for the skimmers 😂
  • They neglect to mention the most obvious way to protect yourself: Use cash!
  • @rancors1
    They need to make the sale of these devices a felony.
  • Oh man, don't mess with Uncle Sam's wallet. He breaks hands.
