If you pump gas, be on the lookout for credit card skimmers that steal your information.

Thieves break into gas pumps and install the skimmers, which collect and store the information when you insert your credit card. Some skimmers can even wirelessly send the stolen info to the bad guys.

Florida has seen a rash of skimmers this year, with Palm Beach County leading the state in reported skimmers. In the first five months of 2017, there were more skimmers found in the county than the prior two years combined.
