Picture this. It’s the weekend and you drop by your friendly neighborhood ATM for some cash never expecting to be compromised by a device known as a skimmer that scans the information on your card while a miniature camera records your pin number.
This past Saturday two such devices were found at Rock Hill ATM’s. One was at First Citizens Bank ATM in the parking lot of the Cherry Park Center plaza, and the other was an ATM inside the Circle K store in the 1800 block of Celanese Road.
According to published reports, police were able to collect the skimmers before the persons who installed the skimmers could retrieved them, the personal data on the skimmers is not believed to have been downloaded and stolen.
Rock Hill Police are urging anyone who believes their information was compromised to contact police and their financial institution. Both cases remain under investigation.
