TikToker gets credit chard details scammed at local 7-Eleven
In the video, Nyshje claims that she initially discovered dubious charges on her bank account. After learning of this, the TikToker says she remembered an odd transaction that occurred during a recent trip to her local 7-Eleven, specifically when she tried using a credit card machine that kept malfunctioning.
The unsettled customer then returned to the 7-Eleven, where she discovered that the card machine was in fact tampered with after ripping off the front plate.
“He tryna act like it’s not coming off,” one comment said. “SIR LEMME HELP YOU.”
“The way she ripped it off you knew she was not playing,” another replied.
Other TikTok user questioned whether or not the workers were actually in on the scam too.
“I work at a gas station…they’re supposed to be checking the machines daily…It’s literally protocol. They’re def in trouble,” one viewer wrote.
Nyshje’s said her charges have yet to be reimbursed, but fortunately, the card skimmer is now in the hands of local Police detectives, who are attempting to locate the suspect of the crime.
