    I appreciate all of your help during this difficult time. For the clone card @legitdawgg You’ve been a solid, kind presence throughout.
    All thanks to you thank to @legitdawgg

    Try having your card cloned in the process. So now they have your identity and your funds linked to their cloned cards. 😢 I'm a victim of it.

    I hardly go into the stores anymore. I like to purchase stuff on their apps and then go in and pick it up.

    That’s why I always either use my phone or Walmart app to pay 😂 but yes, this really needs to stop.

    Yeah good luck trying to touch the reader Walmart will call the cops thinking you’re the scammer. I stopped using self check and went back to a cashier cause the workers at the self check make you feel like a criminal

    Walmart refuses to allow us to tap use our Apple watches which can't be skimmed by a skimmer because our card information is not transmitted. They claim to have their own form of payment which they tried out and it failed. They are being negligent if they are not constantly checking. I hate having to carry a card to go there. Home depot is another place that you have to stick your card in.

  12. @Koraeffect

    January 1, 2024 at 2:13 pm

    Does this include the tap to pay as well? I Dont like to scan and only use chip or tap feature

  13. @SteveBueche1027

    January 1, 2024 at 2:13 pm

    On a timed schedule they should check for skimmers.

  14. @AmandaJuliano

    January 1, 2024 at 2:13 pm

    Here's how to solve this…. put your cashier's back to the registers.

  18. @Jordan-np2uu

    January 1, 2024 at 2:13 pm

    This just makes me see the value of using cash more and more. Can’t skim anything from paper money and metal coins. 💵🪙

  19. @tamischiel2771

    January 1, 2024 at 2:13 pm

    Bring back live checkers add stop forcing people to use credit cards instead of cash. This is why people want to use cash and you don’t give them the option.!

  20. @JohnSmith-ys4nl

    January 1, 2024 at 2:13 pm

    These skimmer machines only work on the magnetic strip on the card. I have no idea why banks/credit cards still have the magnetic strip. It's 2023. If you want to avoid this problem, use contactless payment (smartphone payment or a card you can tap).

  21. @nelauren

    January 1, 2024 at 2:13 pm

    How about skimming some job applications?

  22. @steveb1972

    January 1, 2024 at 2:13 pm

    To be honest I haven’t seen anyone swipe a card in the store for a long time.

  23. @steveb1972

    January 1, 2024 at 2:13 pm

    I haven’t used a card for years. Apple Pay on the phone only

    Damn. Arabs making me not trust Amazon, Microsoft and now Walmart..

    Caveat Emptor! It's been said before and I'll say it again: Legal Tender (CASH) is slowly but surely being phased out for consumers in America. Gee, I wonder why–maybe because US money is as good as monopoly money and the government ain't giving we the people the memo as to why–we're just expected to let it happen, and we kinda are! It's technically illegal for a store not to accept cash as a payment–that's why it's called legal tender.
    WalMart has made things more complicated for customers with Self Check Outs overtaking human cashiers. It seems like the pandemic was a huge opportunity for these and other businesses to start phasing out cash transactions and forcing people to use their cards, meanwhile NO one is keeping an eye on these ATM pin pads and we the people are getting ripped off. Here in New Mexico in my area they are now skimming people's SNAP Food Stamp cards!! It keeps happening and nothing's getting done–it all falls into our laps. I just got back from my local Walmart and the machine didn't even allow me to push my pin–spooky! Keep a look out and I recommend using your credit cards rather than your bank debit cards because the banks will take forever to get you your money bank if they even bother. At least with a credit card you can report a skim scam fraud/unauthorized purchase immediately via phone and it's not out of your pocket. Look lively, people! 👁‍🗨

    This reporter is on a different plant-pick another machine?Pick another line? AT Walmart? She is kidding,right?

  27. @KingmanRoss

    January 1, 2024 at 2:13 pm

    NO,their top priority should be to catch a damn thief.

  28. @KingmanRoss

    January 1, 2024 at 2:13 pm

    How the hell do the employees not see this?I agree,Walmart should be held accountable.And employees fired.

  29. @lifewithme1187

    January 1, 2024 at 2:13 pm

    Use cash

  30. @headsails

    January 1, 2024 at 2:13 pm

    2:45 right, and don't tell the management about it because in our competitive system they may be a part of the scam. WTF? Down with capitalism!

    I love toy 'r'us now its finnaly builded into walmart😢

  32. @superhungdwarf4016

    Lazy credit card companies using garbage outdated security methods. Maybe walmart will upgrade from windows xp finally.

  33. @meowoasdgjoiagjoi

    January 1, 2024 at 2:13 pm

    The solution to this is get people to stop swiping their cards. Contactless payment and inserting your card into the reader use cryptography to be immune to this kind of attack. Only magstripe is affected by these attacks. There's plans to get rid of the magnetic stripe which will completely eliminate skimmers forever. Magstripe is 50 year old technology, if you're still using it, you're the one putting yourself at risk.

    CASH IS KING.
    Digital currency is just a way to get hacked and be tracked.
    Cash keeps us to have our right to privacy.
    Always use cash when you make purchases.
    CANT DEPEND ON technology.
    This will be more common place.
    I use as absolutely as less tech I can. It’s inevitable to fall, and it will.

    NO APPS, NO DIGITAL PAYMENT ( just cash )

    it happened to me yesterday 500$ gone

  36. @DelonSerinoVlogs

    January 1, 2024 at 2:13 pm

    They don’t understand that you can’t just cover your pin anymore since the skimmer also records the pin.

  37. @Discotraxx16

    January 1, 2024 at 2:13 pm

    I dislike Walmart as they don't have mobile pay option.

  38. @seans9149

    Apple Pay the best!!

    Better used the phone or cash for ya safety.

  41. @maxview99

    January 1, 2024 at 2:13 pm

    Never use your debt card. Use credit cards for all purchases and pay the bill at the end of the month. Credit cards have zero liability fraud protection, you are not liable. Its that easy

  42. @memeishere1

    January 1, 2024 at 2:13 pm

    if they have card skimmer how will covering you pin do any good? i thought card skimmers capture all imput like keystroke loggers do ,

    January 1, 2024 at 2:13 pm

    walmart is helping them.. here at my local store, "NO CASH" posted on all registers.. SO?

  45. @WhitemenaresoSexy

    January 1, 2024 at 2:13 pm

    To be honest, Be very careful and be aware, the biggest scammers are "Indians" and they're voracious about it, be careful before you buy anything check the swipe machines, before you use the ATM check to see if there are skimmers, any electronic transaction, CHECK CHECK CHECK BEFORE USING YOUR CARD!

  46. @Moseeplo

    January 1, 2024 at 2:13 pm

    Okay, check and if it looks suspect, go to another check out but don't tell anyone (what kind of advice is that?)? Here's an idea, go to the register with a live person. This is what we get for people being lazy and in such a hurry to check out. Go to a real live person, speak, say "hello, how are you?" It creates a job and you may meet a really nice person who brightens your day. Self checkout makes you an easy prey.

  47. @liveny

    January 1, 2024 at 2:13 pm

    What i do to protect myself is simple…USE CASH and delete the banking apps. Use an ATM in the bank not outside or in a lobby and withdrawal MORE CASH
