Debit card fraud is on the rise
Skimmers took $1,000 from Gary Burkey's PNC account before he even finished reading about the debit card scam in the Saturday newspaper.
"I took a look at the article and I told my wife to check our account online and she said, 'Gary, I think we have a problem,'" recalls Burkey, of Wilmington.
Like dozens of others during the past few weeks, Burkey had used his debit card and PIN to make a purchase at the Rite Aid in Graylyn Crest Shopping Center, spending $11.71 on Jan. 24. By Feb. 1, criminals had created a counterfeit card and made two $500 withdrawals from two ATMs in southeastern Pennsylvania.
