The Putnam County Sheriff’s Department is investigating cases where skimming devices have been used to obtain credit card information from gas pumps in the Town of Southeast.  Residents are reminded to be alert for skimmers when using a credit card or debit card at any device such as a gas pump or ATM.  The Sheriff's Office suggest looking for signs of damage and pull and twist on the card reader itself as the actual readers are very tough and the skimmer will pull loose in most cases.  People should also monitor their Credit/Debit cards for any suspicious activity and report unauthorized use to the authorities.
