There had been multiple credit card skimmers found in various businesses all over the Bay Area.
A 7-Evelen customer discovered a skimmer in Oakland last July. Petaluma police also warned about four credit skimmers found in the area.
Police advice people to check for alignment issues between the card reader and the panel underneath it before using an ATM or gas pump.
You can also try to feel around the credit card reader and wiggle it to see if it can easily come out of place, police said.
