The cashier has a skimmer next to the register. When a customer comes in and purchases that gift card, it gets activated and the criminal already has the data and can use it right then and there.įAST FOOD SCAM: Another popular scam happens at Fast Food Drive-Thrus. He then will check the card numbers everyday on the website to see if they are activated. He goes to the bathroom and skims the data off all of them then puts them all back on the shelf. Let says the criminal takes 10 $50 Walmart gift cards(unactivated).
GIFT CARD SCAM: At Walmart you see stands with Gift cards on them. The success rate of skimming a card with a black stripe through a Mag Stripe reader is 99%. If the card has a black strip on back then it can be read. Every card with a mag stripe is the exact same and every mag stripe reader can skim any and every type of credit card or any card in general with a mag stripe. Q3: The only failure in skimming cards is if the machine is broken or card is damaged. Using skimmed cards at gas stations for example might also require you to type in a zip code associated with the card.
The PIN is NOT provided in the skimmed data. you can skim a debit card and if you have a pin you can go straight to ATM and get cash. Gift cards, hotel cards, rewards cards, credit cards, id cards, etc. These machines can clone ANY card with a mag stripe. the MSR605 comes with software to do all of this. Can read credit or debit and write it to a new blank card and can also erase data on an existing card. The link for MagStripe reader and encoder 1 does exactly that.
