Devices Are Used to Steal Credit Card Data

LEXINGTON (May 13, 2019) – With the long Memorial Day weekend and summer travel season coming up, Agriculture Com-missioner Ryan Quar-les reminds Kentucky motorists that Ken-tucky Department of
Agriculture (KDA) in-spectors are on the lookout for credit card skimmers in motor fuel pumps across the Common-wealth.
“These devices are used to steal credit card information so criminals can use that data to make pur-chases that are charged on the vic-tims’ cards,” Commis-sioner Quarles said in news conferences today in Louisville and Lexington. “For the fourth consecu-tive year, our inspec-tors will check for skimmers in addition to their normal duties at no additional cost to Kentucky taxpay-ers.”
KDA inspectors were involved in a 2017 case that re-sulted in the arrest of eight people in a credit card skimming scheme in which some 7,000 unique card numbers were compromised in sev-eral Louisville-area retail locations.
Under state law, motor fuel pumps must be inspected by KDA personnel once a year. Inspectors test pumps to ensure that the amount of fuel dispensed matches the amount shown on the pump, and check to make sure each pump is in proper working order.
Commissioner Quarles advised mo-torists to be on the lookout for evidence that a motor fuel pump has been com-promised. Signs of tampering include scratches or other damage around locks or doors, components that look different from the rest of the device or from other pumps (such as a skimmer placed over a card reader), a loose card reader, and secu-rity tape that is bro-ken or does not adhere to the pump.
Authorities suggest
filling up your vehi-cle at a pump as close to the attendant sta-tion as possible – thieves often place skimmers in pumps out of sight of the at-tendant. Motorists may avoid the risk by paying in cash.
Consumers who find evidence that a pump has been tam-pered with are ad-vised to bring it to the attention to the retailer and local law enforcement. To re-port possible tamper-ing to the KDA, call (502) 573-0282 or email [email protected]. Please include the re-tailer’s name and lo-cation, the pump number, and the fuel grade.
The National Asso-ciation for Conven-ience Stores says a single compromised pump can capture data from 30 to 100 cards per day.

Mott’s was estab-lished in 1950 by James E. Mott Sr. He opened this business after he returned from WWII. The station required doing oil changes, brakes, and tire re-pairs. James and his son Jimmy delivered fuels for Ashland Fuel Services. After a Few years they ventured off for themselves. They then started delivering bulk fuels to farmers and others.
Jimmy took over the companies in 1968.
Since then he has ac-quired several other businesses and proper-ties that has sold out. Now him and his son John run the busi-nesses together. The Station is located in Bardwell in front of Hucks. It employs 2 people, Robbie Thoma-son and Robert Todd. Mott’s Service Station does small mechanic jobs such as oil changes, brakes, tire repairs, and sells new tires.

KDA Inspectors Watching for Skimmers in Kentucky Motor Fuel Pumps
Taking more classes each semester may help you cut the cost of college, according to the Ken-tucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA). That’s important if you’ll need student loans to help pay for your education.
A full-time load for undergraduate students is usually 12 credit hours per semester. Associate’s degrees usually require 60 credit hours to finish, bachelor’s degrees 120 hours. At 12 hours each se-mester, you’ll need five semesters to finish an as-sociate’s degree and 10 semesters to finish a bachelor’s degree.
But if you take 15 hours per semester, you’ll fin-ish an associate’s degree in four semesters and a bachelor’s degree in eight semesters. Most col-leges won’t charge you any more for 15 hours than they do for 12 hours. That might save you thou-sands of dollars in tuition and fees.
When you’re planning your schedule, think about taking that extra class each semester. The sooner you earn your degree, the sooner you can start job hunting.
KHEAA is the state agency that administers Kentucky’s student financial aid programs, in-cluding the Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES). Its sister agency, the Ken-tucky Higher Education Student Loan Corpora-tion (KHESLC), offers low-cost Advantage Loans to help students and parents pay for college or to refinance student loans.
