This was sent to me from a reliable source and I thought it was best to share it. Most of us use credit/debit cards at the gas pump. With the price of gas and people getting desperate, this is likely to occur more often. Please careful out there!
A co-worker used her credit/debit card to purchase gas at the pump (like most of us do). She received her receipt like normal. However, when she checked her statement, there were 2 $50 charges added in addition to her purchase.
Upon investigation, she found out that because she did not press the 'clear' button on the pump, the employee inside the store was able to use her card to purchase his/her own gas! To keep this from happening, after you get your receipt, you must press the 'CLEAR' button or your information will be stored until the next customer inserts their card. Be sure to tell all your friends/family so that this doesn't happen to them!
I know this doesn't pertain to N.J residents as you are the only one of the 2 States left that doesn't allow self service (Oregon is the other) but when traveling out of State it could help. Dixie
