Discouraging skimming at the pump

摘要

With the payment card industry deadline for accepting chip cards at the pump now past, security experts say criminals will target late adopters for skimming crime and that stations still without outdoor chip card readers must do all they can to discourage card fraud. Marathon Petroleum Corp. offers fraud prevention tips in its 2021 Marathon Retail Payments Guide: 1. Install adequate lighting below the canopy, which can discourage criminal activity. 2. Install surveillance cameras so that they are obvious, not concealed. Point cameras in a direction where they can identify the customer, plates and pumps. Post signs telling customers that video monitoring is taking place. Retain video footage for at least 45 days.
