Card-Skimming Device Found At Cinnaminson Store

CINNAMINSON, NJ — A skimming device was discovered at 7-Eleven in Cinnaminson, leaving some customers at risk of fraudulent transactions with their personal information.

A customer noticed the skimming device Monday at the store. As of Tuesday morning, Cinnaminson police are reviewing surveillance footage to see when it was installed.

Card skimming occurs when devices are illegally placed on ATMs, fuel pumps and other locations to capture personal data and cardholders' PINs. Offenders use that information to create fake debit or credit cards and then steal from victims' accounts.

Skimming can involve the use of pinhole cameras, which record a customer entering their PIN. Find out more on the FBI's card-skimming information page.

Anyone who recently used their credit or debit card at the 7-Eleven should review their statements for potentially fraudulent activity, police said. If you see a suspicious transaction, immediately notify your bank or credit card company and then call the Cinnaminson Police Department's non-emergency line at 856-829-6666 to make a report.

The store is located at 409 Route 130.

Cinnaminson police shared several photos with the recovered device:
