(Williston, ND) — Illegal skimming devices are appearing at some gas stations in Williston. Authorities urge residents to be cautious at the gas pump after two skimmers were recently recovered at fuel station card readers, but did not specify exactly where they were found. Anyone at a gas station should inspect fuel pumps before swiping their cards by checking for loose panels, broken security seals, or any card readers that appear abnormal. Customers are also advised to pay inside if they suspect anything unusual and to monitor their bank accounts. Anyone who believes they’ve been affected is urged to call the Williston Police Department’s non-emergency line or visit identity-theft-dot-gov for recovery resources.
