It was probably a Employee that was behind the device because it had to take some time to install and the information and/or the device itself still needs to be retrieved without being noticed.
Or the owner.......People don't make a lot of money owning a Dollar Tree so he probably has a buddy who makes the money and the owner gets a cut of the deal.
@@karenmbbaxter You like to speak first, think later, huh? You have no idea what you're talking about. Every single Dollar Tree store is owned by the parent corporation. There are no franchised Dollar Tree stores. The owners are the company shareholders.
It's THE EMPLOYEES ALLOWING THIS.....THEY WORK WITH SCAMMERS ... REPORT TO FBI
Unlikely. They are so understaffed anyone could walk up to the machine and slap that thing over the keypad.
@@willieverusethis Could have been a repairman if the card reader went down at any point
Big Shout out too RUclips, so tired of these freaking scamming . Hard working people gotta go through this bullshit.
Unbelievable. Ppl are struggling having to shop at a dollar store and those scamming thieves try stealing what little money the customer probably has
Always keep the skimmer. Don't give it back to the store, because the people working at the store could be the ones skimming.
plus all the stored credit card numbers and PINs on the storage device is a gold mine now
Forced to look at your bank statements ...you should've been checking that lady
IKR, I couldn't believe that a grown woman wasn't looking at her accounts online at least every few days. Even if she used her credit card and is very low tech, she could call the phone system and listen to the recent purchases.
Stores need to be held liable when these devices are found. There is no excuse for this level of brazen crime to happen without being detected. Retailers, protect and check your machines or else pay up for any monies stolen from customers!
Or they are in on the scamming as I've always suspected. Way 2 much identity theft going on
Does the scanner keep the information and the thieves have to come back and retrieve it? Businesses should be liable for this, they need to check their check out devices every hour now.
These Dollar trees are so nosy and into people's business when they come in there's no way the manager who is constantly always at the cash register did not know this was put there
They are correct what they say a manager is always running that cash register and always present 🤬
ITS AN INSIDE JOB.THEY WORK WITH THE CRIMINALS. IT HAPPENED TO ME 3/5/24.......REPORT TO FBI.....THE WORKERS ARE SCAMMERS
..
These skimmers are connected to the Internet via WiFi I bet
Going to be looking out for signs & having to press hard on buttons those are signs big shout out for paying attention you save a lot of people of hardship
This is why I prefer to use cash instead of my debit card.
💯
going to be outlawed soon as they move to cashless control... move along.
Better to use a credit card tap to pay 🙄 all u ret@rdz using your debit cardz
Unless you're going to an actual bank atm to withdraw your money, you're still at risk of that atm having a skimmer attached to it.
Absolutely no one should be using a debit card to make purchases to begin with.
The store has to know because there are camera everywhere.
The card machines should be transparent like electronic devices in prisons. Would make skimmer detection a lot easier and or difficult to install a skimmer.
I agree with you.
You can't even run an errand, shop for food, supplies, without having to worry if you will get carjacked, assaulted, robbed or even make it thru the day to RETURN home. It's just so upsetting and infuriating. This world is full of discord now everywhere. I still continue to pray tho, Harmony seems so out of reach anymore. 🙏
It would have been nice if they showed us what the skimmer looked like ATTACHED to the machine! Then we'd know exactly what to look out for.
A skimmer on a store debit machine has to be an employee. Who else could possibly have placed that there? That's what's crazy to me.
Exactly, and the register area is always well monitored so it couldn't be all that hard to go back and see who installed it
It takes 2 seconds to clip the skimmer onto the terminal.
A customer could easily distract the cashier while their friend places the device
I'm forced to start looking at my bank statements? No one is forcing her. Just call your card company and request a new card.
I look at my credit card statements just to see if everything is good.
Hearing her statement, I'm like what?!
If you have the bank app it is extremely easy.
We easily expect fairness so we get cheated.
she's obviously loaded
Not when you have set up your bills auto debited. You would have 10 or more people you would have to call to give them your new card number! Total nightmare.
@@s.h8589 a nightmare would be someone draining every cent you have in your debit account. The 10 people the account won't have to worry about getting a new card number.
Thanks Joshua for the find & heads up 👍 Will be on the 👀 lookout NOW! DON'T TRUST ANYBODY IN THIS NEW WORLD WE LIVE IN! 😮
Lots of trustworthy people in this world - more of them than the other kind.
@@mortalclown3812Where Bozo 🤡?!
Thank you guys!
Who the F doesn't look at their bank statements??!!
I just commented isn't it so nice to have so much money you don't need to look at your bank statements
JeeeeeZe !
These people are making me feel smarter and smarter every day
And that other woman says this don't make me trust this Dollar tree I may not be coming back here
Like jeeeze woman it was found out about chances are it won't happen again and it'll be safe to go back there unlike all the other stores and gas stations you go to are going to be safe
And if that ain't enough she should know about it now and know to look out for it 🤷🤦
People act as if they were born yesterday
Me
Rich folks, not like us
The F-ing people who use paperless billing🤬that's who❗You can call your banks toll free number and see which checks have cleared; as well as deposits. You can also talk to an operator. Save a Tree 🌲
@@s.h8589 you can easily see it online that's no excuse
A lot of people in the comments are saying store employees. I'm not ruling that out. High probability. But, there are thieves that use distraction techniques at short-staffed stores like this one. One guy asks for help, while the other guy attaches the skimmer.
"Now I'm forced to look at my bank statements" in other words I don't budget...🤣🤣🤣
If someone doesn’t look at their bank statements it means they have enough money not to worry.
A poor person's hands typed this
@@sneksteppy It's called being vigilant, don't be a dick. If you don't check your bank statement that's very stupid of you.
@@sneksteppy A low life's hands typed that response.
India coming to Dollar store near you.
New Jersey is shady in general. They put water in the gas pumps.
Dead ass, an old timer from brick told me that also. He said never to buy gas after a rain storm cause the tanks pull in water apparently
That just happened in Camden. Two times at the same gas station. People had cars dying all over the roads. Some cars didn't make it out of the station. Unbelievable. I am glad that guy was eagle eyed to spot the skimmer, he probably saved some people their money.
This is why i pay cash at the store .. no more bank card , cut that right up!
Cc for rare purchases but protected
No one should swipe their debit card because that’s your money. A credit card on the other hand is “their”money and they (bank) will have to deal with it while it’s getting investigated.
I don't use credit cards ❗
You might want to rethink that. If someone scams your debit card, you will never get that money back, but the credit card companies will work with you.@@s.h8589
We need that mans sensors at every shopping store . Good job 👏🏾
Yes! Joshua SHOULD get a huge reward for his outstanding ability to catch this! He's awesome . 🎉😊
Thank you!
Thank you Joshua for your divine intervention! ❤ They should give you an award for that!!!
Thank you!!
Always pay as credit when using your card!
& what does that do?
@@GodsGenuineGrace You don’t have to enter your pin so they can’t steal it
@@YoUnOkNoWoK or just tap it on the screen
What a stand up guy!!!
I live in Bayonne! And there are times when I know there is X amount of $ in my banking account and then it's a couple of dollars lower. Yup, thank YT because they made me hip to this device, also!!! Also, very rarely am I using my debit card! The machine looks different with this degice on it - not that one can readiky tell but the real machine is sleek. Not big plastic sides, etc
Use CASH IN ANY DOLLAR TREE. ITS AN INSIDE JOB
And thats the best one in Hudson County
Thank you!😂
This chain is a nightmare anyway. Getting impossible to find companies to feel good about patronizing.
They just had a big recall on their house brand cinnamon for containing high levels of lead...😮
I’m glad he found it!
Give the skimmer to the police, don't let the employees have it.
How is it that all these skimmers are on camera but no arrest are ever made - are cops stupid - find a skimmer and stake it out to see who is retrieving it at the store. All I ever see is we found another skimmer - no arrest were made but we did find a skimmer !
Always pull on the face of the machine before you use your card, even at bank atm's.i usually use the little lip around the number pad, just give it a firm tug.
I got scanned at a Kroger gas pump. Now I check the pumps everywhere I go.
I have a gas company credit card and only go to those stations. I feel like it is easier to keep track of that usage on a statement, plus the damage will be contained if the card is compromised. I also saw some advice to use the pumps closer to the door, since those farther out of sight of employees are more likely to have the scanners on them.
I was scammed at family dollar in Michigan!! I was pissed of went off on the manager he knew! I told him you are being investigated and I'm letting the community know not to shop here!
She's FORCED to LOOK @ her bank statements !
Never ever use your debit card in stores that are under staffed.
Fired everyone including the manager and sue dollar tree 🌳 these companies have to learn the hardway.
Fire them for what
@@mackcity74gdn89 you must work fir dollar tree 🌳 because you all over these comments lol hope they fire you too humm
@@user-mt6br4jb1t naw I would never
Use mobile pay from your phone, like Apple Pay etc. Your card number is tokenized so they don’t get your actual card number. Also, consider using credit card instead of debit because of the additional fraud protection
What person doesnt look at their bank and other statements every month?
I don't and people that have paperless billing don't either . I am on paperless billing. I call my banks toll free number to check my balance and see which purchases have cleared.
Imagination + Knowledge is very useful.
I just has my card charged more than $350 in fraudulent charges after visiting a 5 Below store. I got it straightened out and I got my money back but I will not be going back to that store
Now how did that happen in dollar tree? 😮 Change your pin number regularly
Like every time you use it!
@@LIZZIE-lizzie facts! I would never think dollar tree but dam
I shop in that store about once a week.
It would be very difficult for a customer to do that.
I believe it was an inside job.
Manager office up front.
There must be cameras.
I just went yesterday at 6 pm to Dollar Tree, and today at 4:15 a.m., my money was taking two different states over 3000. This is the second time since July 2023. My card was used twice in Texas casco 1600$ and 1200 $and other stores. When I went to use my card today, that's how I found out.i call the stores and the lady told me some man was used my card. Tomorrow I will call the bank where my money was taking and other places. I don't know know much I can do because I don't live in that state, but if I have to I will fly and investigate my self because they are using my personal information and stealing my money. 😢😢I will go tomorrow to the dollar tree and chek the cameras and see if I can see anything . I can't take this anymore. 😢😢😢
They’re constantly understaffed. What a terrible corporation and what kind of person takes from people who shop at a dollar stores.
Shut the store down and file criminal chargers
The first question I have, the credit card machine is up near the cash registers, and the people working there doesn't know what is going on ❓❗🤔
Well it is only 2 ppl working. N when no customers at the checkout the employees are mostly stocking
I know people in Bayonne. Ill have to tell them.
There a shimmer that inserts into the card port, it can not be seen.
But it makes the card a tighter fit. It needs a tiny camera to get the pin.
Lock your cards when not in use. Check your accounts for activity twice aday.
WTF A DOLLAR TREE, REALLY NOW THAT'S BEYOND HEARTLESS. 😫
why are the stores checking the readers, or are their employees the culprits.I will from now on check those machines
People think they are so cool tapping their cards…. Ha ha ha. Use cash!!
My question is, how are these installed so fast on the machine without anyone noticing?
Could be an employee that got fired or let go..but who knows.
I don't even think those dollar store places even got camaras installed in their stores...😐
If it's not a customers, is the workers workers that's still? Probably the management knew about it..
Dollar tree to dollars free
The cashier knows
I can guarantee an employee or manager of the store is responsible for it being there.b
They police needs to impose a fine t o these businesses! I bet they would start being more proactive then.
I try to use cash most of the time for this reason right here. I use my card when I shop online, but when I’m out and about I’ll go get some cash then go shopping.
That was an inside job period! An employee must have put that there.
Pay cash as much as possible.
Wow very very scary!!!! It had to of been. I noticed that near me. But I didn't think nothing of it, til I heard this. But it wasn't dollar tree though.
If you're shopping at a dollar store you should be paying in dollar bills. Why risk a card there?
Proud of u 😮😮😮
People act like credit cards is sooooooo much better than cash
Contactless has safety measures and most readers let you tap your phone. to of course can't beat cash! but most don't carry cash these days.
Until you lose your wallet/purse, or someone robs you. There’s always a way to lose money
It’s most likely not only dollar tree there’s other stores there too.
Please don't f with my dollar general next. We poor already damnit leave us out of this.
All places have cameras
Not just gas pumps!
I’m sure it was one of them broke employees
Of course, the employees don't know anything about it!
Omg 😱 that’s mess up
I got scammed today in Jamaica NY smh they stole $141 from my ebr cash card
Man you stealing money from people at dollar tree sick . Get the cam footage let me find this guy the police officer aren’t doing anything
Is it not all contactless in the USA? Can not remember the last time I carried a card in UK and Europe.
Some stores, like Walmart still requires a card. It's annoying.
You should always look at your bank statements Do not not look at them that's actually a very stupid thing to do
the floor cleaners put them on
THINK ABOUT IT , THE MORE MODERN THINGS WE CREATE , THTS MEAN EASY TARGET FOR THIEF ....WE NEED TO GO BACK TO THE OLD FASHION WAY , PAY CASH , NO PHONE APPS...LESS JUNK STUFF ON YOUR PHONE....
People don’t want to work for their own money anymore 😡.
Bull they have cameras so they know exactly who installed it
They finally found my device I made a lot of money before they found it though
Do either cash or Apple Pay
Use cash, not credit cards
Did one of the employees did it? 🤔
Hum, at a Dollar Tree, no place is safe I guess
Pay with cash😳
A skimmer in DOLLAR TREE. 😑
start using cash!
We gat to make these money regardless, y’all use emv software
It’s someone that’s working at the store run the camera back
Wow
I always pay cash I will never use my debit card if I have to take out money at the bank to pay for stuff so be it🤷🤷
Swiping dollar tree bank cards... wil.
Wow!
This ain't that and she better find something else to do but nothing on this side
Theyre all over 7-11’s
