Card Skimmer Locator 4+

Sometimes when I open my app around Bluetooth, it says that a scammer was found, but then it goes right back to the screen of saying a SKIMMER was not found. Now I know this app picks up Bluetooth devices, but I’m confused if I’m actually picking up a skimmer because it goes to the “not found” screen , right after it says a skimmer was found. Can someone help me out?

A year or so ago, when I had my number skimmed, I made a list of every monthly payment my card makes and apps where my number is stored (food, travel, etc) so that it wouldn’t be as difficult to set everything back up, should it happen again. I was glad I did, because it was skimmed twice in less than a month recently. Since I use my card to earn flight points, my number is stored for THIRTY-SEVEN monthly payments and apps. And since I drive for a living, I’m kind of a sitting duck for thieves at gas pumps. This app works like a dream. It instantly finds my 2nd phone every time I open it, and I’ve already found a gas pump with a possible skimmer. Having to open the app at every pump is well worth not having to set up a new card for 37 different things, and it’s still faster and safer than going inside and having to leave my card as a “deposit” to turn the pump on (unsafe af) or setting the pump at a certain amount which may not fill my truck all the way up, and if I overshoot the amount, having to be refunded the difference, which is also a bit sketchy. Bottom line: very, very worth it.

For people staying this scans skimmers in their houses don’t know how this works. This app checks to see if there is a Bluetooth signal coming from the area you are checking as skimmers use Bluetooth so the criminals can keep the skimmers in place and just get the data from the device. You dummies are finding Bluetooth signals in your house not skimmers. This is a great tool for trying to locate the signal that the skimmers are transmitting.
