The Delaware State Police are investigating skimming devices found on the self-checkout kiosks at several Wawa locations in Sussex County. Anyone who completed transactions at the locations listed below between August 31, 2024, and September 14, 2024, is suggested to review banking or credit card accounts for any fraudulent transactions.
- 24930 John J Williams Highway, Millsboro, Delaware
- 30155 Veterans Way, Wawa, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware
- 35436 Wolfe Neck Rd, Wawa, Rehoboth, Delaware
- 17663 Dartmouth Dr, Lewes, Delaware
The following tips can help you avoid becoming the victim of the skimming devices.
- Check for a camera as it could be used to record the PINs being entered & avoid using the debit payment option where PINs are required.
- Tap-to-pay is currently the most secure method of payment, followed by the EMV chip payment method.
- Check for signs of tampering.
- Pull on the card slot and wiggle the keypad since the skimming devices are usually placed directly over the actual slot.
- If anyone finds a possible skimming device, notify the business management.
- Monitor banking or credit accounts for fraudulent transactions.
- Report any suspicious activity to law enforcement.
Delaware State Police Troop 4 Financial Crimes Unit continues to investigate this incident.
