U.S. Secret Service confiscates skimmers from local stores

The U.S. Secret Service is warning transnational criminal organizations are targeting shoppers in central Florida.  The Action 9 consumer investigative team rode along with federal agents as they worked with local law enforcement to try to track down hidden credit card skimming devices inside stores across Orange, Seminole and Osceola counties. The skimming devices are designed to steal credit and debit card information when you swipe or insert them into point-of-sale machines at stores and gas pumps.  The criminals also place them inside ATMs.
