GOSHEN—John Hankins, an inspector with the county’s Department of Consumer Affairs and Weights and Measures, discovered a device on a gas pump that steals credit card data in the Town of Newburgh on Nov. 16. Managers at the Shell station on Route 52 are cooperating fully with Newburgh police in their continuing investigation.
County Executive Steve Neuhaus said the county has often warned county residents about scammers that install skimming devices on ATMs and gas pumps. The device discovered in Newburgh is the first, according to Charles Mitchell, commissioner of consumer affairs and weights and measures.
What we try to do is get people be more vigilant in how they use their cards.
