I never thought I'd live in a world where I give card swiper's a jiggle before I insert my card but here we are
Yea I’m here cuz my card has just been skimmed . Took all my money . I’ll be jiggling machines from here on out .
@@Blueskyz316 I always try to. My fiance just got his completely wiped out :( and I think that this is what happened. I wish i could find the creatures who did this!
I always do but some of them are super hidden so.....
Give a card swiper's what a jiggle?
Surreal…
It's nice how the banking system never put a penny into this type of tech. Why is this happening so late in the game?
Conspiracy theories abound. Te bad ol' banksters...
@@nivekyentrouc1200
It's not a conspiracy, credit card skimmers are real, and have been around for years, and its obvious that many privately ATM and Bank ATM Machines do not have the type of electronic devices installed that are exampled in this video. Ellwood's comments bring up a valid point.
No one wants to hold the NRA accountable for the amount of guns out on the streets, and you want the banking system to solve all YOUR PROBLEMS? what a joke!
@@gennaterra lol...not looking for anyone to solve my problems. I do that myself. I would think that bank or at least the service providers would build in some kind of "reasonable" security. Not too much to ask for especially because this technology is rudimentary in its design.
@@spulos1 working in the industry, ATMs are checked regularly. Most are basic Bluetooth devices. You can always check yourself by attempting to move the card reader. Most are stuck on with double sided tape.
So, this is from 2020 and I'm only now hearing about it.
That tells me it is not well known or much used, which is sad.
Me too I am shocked 😳
Also 500$ not really sales friendly to the general public specially as it costs only a few dollars to make
Yes.... hahahaha, me too
Same here
It seems logical that the bank could install similar technology to know when a skimmer has been installed.
Not realy, how would the ATM know if the card was read twice?
@@aquatrax123 You've got a fair point, but the idea of engineering some sort of device to detect when a skimmer is attached would be pretty useful. I'm by no means good at electronics but I'm willing to bet that such a device is possible.
@@aquatrax123 I agree with Daniel. Similar technology Could be used. To answer your question, The technology in the "skim reaper" DOES the detection that a card has been read twice. That double read is then indicated/communicated By the technology to the user. Regardless of our ignorance of how that technology works, that same technology could identify the double read and instead of using a red light on a handheld device as an indicator, The indicator could be a tripped alarm (to the bank), AND immediate disabling of the machine until the skimmer is removed AND on-screen notification "SKIMMER DETECTED" to the user at the ATM.
All that said it's reactive rather than proactive. I think in agreement with Daniel Banks should install a monitoring system That lets them know that the device has been tampered with and the skimmer has been installed. This way before any double read ever happens, That alarm is tripped and the device is disabled until a certified technician comes out to fix it. Self diagnosis just like when you turn your car on And you get a low oil indicator. Install the software that detects skimmers skimmers or extra parts or unauthorized parts or missing parts. The software should always be running In the background.
They don't care THAT much.
If man invented it than man can find away around them!! Next year something will come out that can beat the skim reaper!! It happens all the time, it’s a cat and mouse game!!
Stores should check these devices every shift. And they should be liable to replace any invalid charges. This could be VERY EASILY fixed.
Or legislators should provide and pass a law that not only requires businesses to check frequently but hold a business fully accountable for any loss a customer has.
I agree but i dont think the business should pay for a criminals actions. You cant check thrm 247.
They won't even change the trash or fill up the windshield cleaner buckets at the pumps. So many employees aren't worth the pay or time to just stand there at the business
some stores don't even have them out in the open . they swipe your card for you then hand you the device so you can put your pin in.
why should stores pay you for your own stupidity? watch where you stick your card into .. I'm fed up with half brainers like you, blaming everyone but yourself. it's your own fault if you only have half a brain and are not capable of doing simple things.
you should be liable for your own stupidity!
Im so glad these things are not a problem anymore In Germany since around one decade.
The manufacturing companys that build ATMs and other card reading machines made them almost impossible to temper with.
What company was that? Maybe they should make some voting machines for the US.
@@anasazirose 😁
probably several companys.
One of the contractors of the biggest German Bank the "Sparkasse"
@@anasazirose voting machine are fine if u were talking about USA... We don't need to fix voting machine just need to educate ignorant dumb people who easily fall for conspiracies and fall for fraudsters like Trump.. so again u only need to educate yourself and somehow have have common sense but I have very little hope if u can believe someone like trump who tells thousands lies everyday to me most of those ppl Are lost. Cause
@@anasazirose lol so why Dominion Voting Systems , won the lawsuit..?
@@orobco They didn't win the lawsuit stupid, it's still ongoing.
And thieves will literally find a way to counter this as well.
Like human trafficking dealing with the heart issues of the customer or perpetrator is the solution.
How come banks and other POS providers aren’t jumping on this technology, or haven’t already developed it? Hmm, maybe they don’t want to spend their obscene profits to protect their customers? No shame in their game - just keep telling buyers to beware right? We have to become forensic experts instead. Having been a victim of one myself, I find it deplorable that businesses aren’t doing more. Hopefully the skim reaper will be affordable.
cause morons like you will still use their atm at the pump vs a cc that has zero loss to the customer if it gets skimmed.
Maybe the fact that a series of numbers is all you need to compromise that piece of plastic rather than some 2fa type authentication card with single use 256 bit length numbers. Of course debt and fraud are profitable.
Mrs Anna is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy
Wow I' m just shock someone mentioned expert Mrs Anna thought I' m the only one trading with her
She helped me recover what I lost trying to trade my self
Please how do I get in touch with MRS ANNA??
No exact amount but a profit range from $1200 to $5000 depending on the coin fluctuation in market
Mrs Anna is fake, she's a whore too
I think this should be a legal requirement for businesses to do every so often to ensure that their machines are safe
I am a small business owner and they are not cheap and even more there almost impossible to find. I want one for not just my shops but for me personally. There are many fake ones out there made probably buy the same people making the double dippers.
@@butcherbaker4258 that’s not an excuse, if u have one of those machines then u can afford it. It’s literally like a bit of plastic they are not that expensive
they’re like $500 a unit, they’re a little pricey
@@MrMonkey2150 *ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT*
Production, research, and providing of the devices should be subsidized by the government
Looks like paying cash is a better idea.
I almost broke a card reader when I was checking if there was a skimmer on it. They need to get a handle on this!
don't be so rough with the card readers then 💀
@@AquaJV it may have been loose, warranting suspicious.
@@Gr3nadgr3gory they could check without almost breaking it 💀
@@AquaJV if it wasn't loose it wouldn't have looked like it was poorly glues on ore something.
@@Gr3nadgr3gory ...How do you know that that was the situation? You weren't there lol
Dang! Charging $485 for that thing is just as much of a rip-off as the skimmers!
How much was your cell phone?
@@anasazirose lol
DONT TELL THE BUSINESS IF YOU FIND A SKIMMER. call the cops. The store owners are 99% of the time behind it, or know about it and are getting a cut.
That's a random geuss statistically but I'd be willing to believe it happens a lot. Especially at a 7:11 or something. How would you not see them do it. Unless they know when you use the bathroom somehow
1:30
No you don't tell the business you call police then tell the business good chance the business is aware of it and allowed it to be put there
It looks like a lot of times someone in the store is involved. Directly or indirectly.
When in doubt, just get a basic- low limit ( $500-$750 Max) credit card/secured card and use that exclusively for gas/subscription services. Hackers can't steal what's not there lol
Make one that clears scammers already collected card info and disable their device
I mean, once you find one, skimmers tend to be easily removed.
It would be better if the Skim Reaper shorted out the Skimmer.
Then it'd be liable to short out the ATM too.
An example of a person experiencing true suffering to know the feeling of true joy. Imagine how he feels knowing he damn near solved the problem. You go, boy!
I usually pay with cash even though I do got card I usually like to keep money in cash form not card
lol $485.00 I would rather keep my money and If a scammer steals it have the bank reimburse me. These people are scamming too with that high price tag.
Please note that US is the last country still using magnetic card reader for payment. Everywhere else payment is done by chip card, since more than 10 years.
This is simply due to the fact that US banks are not responsible for the losses, so they do not care.
You think chip cards don’t get skimmed?
@@DeathnoteBB communication between the reader and the chip does not allow to copy the chip. It use challenge-response to prove the chip is legit, without revealing any secret info.
@@tatoute1 Skimmers are more advanced than that because they can just imitate the chip reader. Newer skimmers can skim a chip swipe almost as easily as a magnetic swipe
@@Kurama_02 If it is so, it's caused by a design flaw in the chip, because it's easy to have non copyable chips, using only Zero Knowledge Proof (aka challenge responses). As usual US banks probably choose not to implement any security, making a chip equivalent of the unsecure magnetic strip. One example of that no-security culture is paypass, where absolutly no security is involved. It's purely equivalent to the old card shoe, except there it's not even signed. This is another example of banks lazyness because they can put the risk on the customer.
This video was posted 2yrs ago in 2020…And now in 2022, Card Skimmers still killing it everywhere !! 🤦🏻♂️😂
Fantastic, a teacher who works with students on a project to help society instead of constantly poking holes in student projects for fun
Those scammers are mad now 😭😂
Thank you for this genius invention!
Knowing how cunning scammers can be, give them a couple of hours to develop some countermeasures that'll derail this new tech if it's not constantly updated as well. 2 years on and I wonder if this thing has been updated or was left to stagnate and is now obsolete.
They need to just do away with the mag strip, already.
Or they could just make the credit/debit cards have a built in feature where if it detects that it's being double probed or skimmed that it will automatically decline the transaction and if need be maybe temporary disable your card until you call you bank or something.
That's actually pretty fucking genius.
@@EzekiesAcheron arffff!!!! Thanks ^^
This is an excellent idea, but not a permanent solution.
Once scammers get ahold of the "skimmer reaper", they will find ways to make skimming devices that bypass the detectors. While these devices may work now, it will make skimming detection a lot more difficult in the future.
in aus i just use cardless cash, 2 codes into the atm and no card
A lower tech solution would be just a bolt or plate that goes up and closes the card slot between uses in places, where the skimmer would have to be.
If there is a device inside, it would jam the bolt/plate and set off an alarm.
Huh
most of these fuel pumps now can use NFC cards, they just never activate the damn things so they force you to use the shitty card reader. They also rarely have the EMV chip reader activated on them either. It's like they want your info to be stolen or are skimming them themselves.
Seems more logical for card companies to alert you of a double scan of your card.
1 device is hooked up to banks, the other device just reads the card offline.
The card itself doesn't store a number of swipes on it, nor does the card wirelessly transmit data to the bank any time a reader is used.
If you have a battery powered card reader and you are out in the woods and swipe your card to get the data, nobody would know.
Purchases are the only thing being transmitted.
Now if a skimmer was to instantly transfer money to an account as soon as it is scanned, then that could easily be detected by a bank as 2 swipes within a very short time since there would be 2 transactions. Then of course, they could just add a delay to overcome that.
@@FusionDeveloper literally makes no sense. Bank could design cards that can detect double swipes. Just like they have cards that detect rejected swipes.
I literally check every card reader in every store pump or where ever.
That’s why I use digital payment as much as possible, since doing it I have had no problem.
These card readers need to be regulated on the daily with all the craziness that’s happening around the world I honestly not surprised that this is happening.
This was posted a year ago. Did it get them all??
Just use only NFC payments if possible. Yea, it is also obviously not ideal, but far more secure than classic cards and eventually need to be adopted everywhere
HE'S A REAL SUPERHERO
The real grift here is the device itself is nearly $500.. I rarely have more than that in my account at any one time to begin with.. and it's like $30 worth of electronic materials.
Like a cell phone, lap top, game system, refrigerator, car, and everything else in life.
It’s not designed for the general public, it’s being designed to sell to businesses and municipalities. As a consumer, I wouldn’t pay even $50 for a device that I would need to insert into every card reader before I use it. I’m already protected by the card issuer against fraud. It’s the businesses that get chargebacks from fraudulent charges that are going to want to invest into it.
The credit card is not a good idea with all the technology floating around nowadays. Got to bring it back to the old school and barter for things. My eggs for your cheese and milk or bread for Head👀🙈🙉🙊
Won't protect against skimmers embedded inside of the payment terminal e.g. through software
Simplest way to stop them is to get rid of the magnetic stripe.
Oh I would like to get one of those Skim Reaper things. Could make my trips to stores and other places with a pin pad a bit more safer.
I went on their website the product looks good problem is its almost 500$ 🙃
2:07 _hoping to sniff out skimmers in all 50 states by the end of the year_
So how are the results now?
Unless it’s the store doing the skimming….. APUUuuu!
Good job
It’s great and all until you see the price that of the reaper. Understandable since it takes all hands on deck to create one but also at the same time ???
They will find another way to go invisible to these reapers.
I live in Newport News Virginia and within 3 weeks, from June 1, 2021 to June 17, 2021 my Capital One card was hacked, and each time it happened after i got gas
I need one. Now
You can bet your ass I am going to buy one. Oh btw, the 3 thumbs down are scammers 😂😂😂😂😂.
They are around $350 each. You didn't buy anything brokeass.
Why are cameras not catching the people who install them? Oh right... cause what fun would that be?
I never had identity theft issues until I moved to Houston smh
So, how much are they because I would feel a lot safer if I could use it when I am getting gas.
Amazing Gaget for Business
Years ago I had my bank debit card compromised after using it at local Walmart and I am in a wheelchair I don't drive but the theifs aka scammers used my number over 200 miles south of me at stores I never shop at I got my money back I got new bank account and new debit card no problems since I have my numbers and accounts changed every so often
They should sell these to the business owners and they should make it a daily responsibility of one the crew members to go out and check the pumps real quick. It would really nice if they could somehow put this technology into our credit and debit cards.
Imagine be in a bank in EU as tourist , and inserting this thing in their ATM , what could go wrong?
Oh, fun. Could break the device.
In Seattle thieves take the entire ATM
It's time to pay cash like the old days again.
Of course Texas and Florida would make something like this, land of the free
0:38 oh deer...
Does it protect from swiping as well as inserting ?
I like to catch them in the act. The best criminals are floating in the gulf.
They charge almost $500 for this device. Come on..
I wanted to buy 1 but it costs $485 😳
Is this on Amazon yet?
How do and where do u buy this thing? Cause I'm trying to protect myself
Never used a debit card like a credit card for purchasing stuff, period. Get & use a low-level brand gas card (Shell, Chevron, etc.) instead of using any regular major credit card at the gas pump.
Pay you main bills with a card but keep petty cash in your wallet for anything under $20
Businesses should check all their readers on the hour every hour or risk getting FINED.
Where can I get one of these?
Fantastic
...................in a state where their Dept of Ag. and any other of that state's bureaus no longer has the authority to calibrate pumps at gas stations? Why did they pass such legislation?
card skimmers are sweating hard right now
Cash. Problem solved.
Do u have a link to them I would like to get one
Good job Ane thank you
Even In California I'm socked
I want one
This is exactly why I got a fleet card for buying gas.
A year later and my credit card was skimmed.
Where can I buy it
So how do we get one??
ah yes, my favorite captions, the English-_nk5BpZt1Bw_Caption.
It’s auto-generated by coding.
Is it possible to buy
I’m also in texas
Does contactless avoid these troubles?
No. They are vulnerable to what is called man-in-the-middle attack.
Use app payment, no CC information at risk, they use electronic token for payment.
Yes. No physical contact is made thus it can not be skimmed. It is incredibly difficult for a contactless card to be hacked. Only danger is if you lose the actual card.
this wont work.. many a times, truck fleet owners ue the same credit card to fuel more than one vehicle / trucks.... and thats where the fraud happens. Else the visa / master cards can detect duplicate reads and caution the card owner
looked up the price for one; 485$. might be cheaper just to get scammed.
Oooooh. Yeah... I been hacked 6 times..... I'm going on a hunt!!
We gat to make the money anyways, get yourself X2 emv
I got hit while in Texas.
So y'all gone ignore they never say nothing about investigating the manufacturer 🤦🏾♂️
WTF this device exist but why is this a growing problem. Also where can I buy one?
It's $485 for the Skim Reaper, little bit pricey.
Until the scammers get hold of one and find a way round them
Yay finally
