If you used a credit card machine at this location, you should inform your credit card company of this finding, authorities said.

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. Find out more on the FBI's card-skimming information page.
