Two people were arrested for stealing credit card information at gas pumps across the Oklahoma City area.
Abel Rodriguez told police he made $400-$600 a day by placing numerous skimmers on gas pumps, according to an affidavit. With that electronic device at the pump, he allegedly accessed credit card information, otherwise known as "skimming."
Once he got the credit card information, he said he would turn those cards into gift cards to buy large amounts of diesel to sell from his house for cash.
The FBI has information online about what to do while at the gas pump to avoid having information stolen. One way to do this is to choose a pump close to the store.
Drivers should run their debit cards as credit cards and cover the keypad when entering their pin number. They could also consider paying inside.
