October 10, 15:32, Fraud, Gävleborg County

A crime has occurred in Uppsala on October 7 and a crime in Stockholm on September 2.

Experience shows that when crimes of this type become relevant, many crimes occur in the near future, so it usually looks like this.

Mostly, one skims business cards, as they usually have high credit limits. Entrepreneurs should be extra cautious, but anyone can be affected.

What one does is to read the credit card when it is inserted into the machine. The perpetrators have then mounted a reading device on the machine, where one inserts the card. (When one inserts the card, one should feel that all equipment is securely attached to the machine. If something is loose, one interrupts the filling and calls the owner and the police on 112.)

At the keypad, where one enters the code for the card, the perpetrator has placed a small camera that is as big as a button head.

With the help of the camera, the perpetrator sees the code being entered. Check if it looks suspicious around the keypad and if you see any holes in the equipment that could be a camera.

If you suspect that something is not right at the machine, call 112 and report it.
