The 8 thumbs down on this video are actual scammers who were using that very trick 🧐

[Headsht]

I was looking for how these actually work. Not a warning about them. Maybe change the video title to something a little more fitting

Also pre-paid inside the store is a good alternative too cause if your card info is stolen you at least knew who is likely the suspect.

Another option is to pay in cash, Apple Pay or Pay at the Counter Physically.

My favorite part is when they explain what people do with your information using the card

Curious! What protection does a wiggle do?

[beanzx]

Does that only work on credit cards or bank cards too

[juranovium]

What about the PIN? I'm pretty sure you need a pin as well?

[Glxckz-hwpl]

[Mr-pneh]

But in new jersey you aren't allowed to pump your own gas
