The $1 Gas Pump Scam That Drains Your Card in Seconds

#GasPumpScam #CreditCardFraud #ScamAlert A $1 hardware store screw jammed inside a gas pump can drain your credit card while you drive away thinking everything is fine. It's called the screw method, and it's spreading across California, Maryland, and Pennsylvania right now. I'm Boyd Clewis. I've spent 15 years in payment security. In this video, I walk you through exactly what one contractor screw does to your credit card, why gas stations are the perfect crime scene, and the one thing you can look for at every single pump that stops this cold — before you insert your card. You'll also learn the second version of this scam that has nothing to do with a screw, why Chase, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America may deny your refund on at-pump fuel disputes, and the exact policy language in your card agreement that they'll use to do it. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 👴 THE SENIOR SCAM SURVIVAL PACK — $7 (Reg. $47) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I put together a 20-page printable Scam Survival Pack for seniors and their families.
