1)
A skimmer is a small device that can scan and store credit card data from the magnetic stripe.
Once the card is run through the skimmer, the data is recorded, and the crooks can sell the information through a contact or on the Internet, at which point counterfeit cards are made. The criminals go on a shopping spree with a cloned copy of the credit or debit card, and cardholders are unaware of the fraud until a statement arrives with purchases they did not make. Thus it is important to check any credit card transaction.
