skimmers before it's too late

Quinn employees pulled a card skimmer
0:27
here at this 7-Eleven behind me just
0:30
yesterday now they won't speak to Kio 13
0:32
investigates but we did speak to an
0:35
7-Eleven employee that works at other
0:36
stores he tells us that he's seen three
0:39
of these skimmers in just the last 2
0:42
months but luckily he says they're easy
0:45
spot customers were waiting to pay it
0:47
this 7-Eleven on Thursday when an
0:49
employee found this card skimmer the El
0:52
Pasa County Sheriff's Office is
0:53
investigating and says it doesn't know
0:55
how long the skimmer was there or how
0:57
many people were victimized but this
1:00
isn't the only 7-Eleven to be targeted
1:02
are easy targets that's for sure there's
1:05
a lot of them and you know people don't
1:07
pay attention James Pew works at
1:09
multiple 7-Eleven stores in Colorado
1:12
Springs and says he's seen a lot of
1:14
skimmers give me a pack of smokes turn
1:16
around and SLP it on real quick and it's
1:20
all it takes is that but he knows how to
1:22
spot them peeling off two in just the
1:24
last couple of weeks and they just put a
1:26
new one over it with the new buttons and
1:28
everything and so so you can kind of see
1:30
like this part hangs out a little
1:32
further the car and then this button
1:35
just doesn't really light up you don't
1:36
see any of the light coming through it
1:38
and so if you see that you can see you
1:40
can literally just take like a knife or
1:41
if you got long fingernails and peel it
1:43
right off just peels off peels right off
1:45
it's just a little bit of glue Colorado
1:47
Springs Police say they are
1:48
investigating 22 active card skimming
1:51
cases going back to last year the
1:53
department says most skimmers send card
1:55
information to the suspect instantly
1:57
which makes it hard to track and not
2:02
customers that's why law enforcement are
2:05
urging you to keep an eye on your bank
2:07
account report any suspicious activity
