Police in Pennsylvania have identified a suspect in a credit card skimming case at a Walmart. The skimming devices were found in December at a store in Wilkes-Barre Township. The suspect, Florin Doroiman, is accused of placing the skimmers on the pin pads at the checkout counters. These devices can capture shoppers' credit card information without their knowledge. Doroiman allegedly stole around 4,600 credit card account numbers and over 1,000 SNAP benefit accounts. Credit card skimmers are difficult to spot because they look like regular card readers. Police are urging residents to be cautious when using credit cards and to monitor their bank accounts regularly. Skimmers can be placed at many businesses, making it essential for shoppers to stay alert.
