Crooks Using Bluetooth To Steal At Gas Pumps

DALLAS (CBS11) -Pump prowlers in Dallas are stepping up their game, stealing bank information in some cases instantaneously with a new device police are calling “scary.”

Dallas Police recently discovered five different skimming devices that utilize Bluetooth technology.

“I think that’s terrible,” said Tracy Schlossstein, a driver who uses one of the impacted gas station. Investigators said they found the devices buried inside the outside, credit card kiosks at four different ExxonMobil gas stations. “I think that’s sad because they could be over there in the next parking lot reading information, hacking it off the computer,” said Schlossstein.
