“Boston Police Department Community Alert: On Tuesday December 20, 2022, credit card skimming devices were located on point-of-sale card readers at 7-11 stores located at 532 Commonwealth Avenue in Kenmore Square (District D-4) and 509 Cambridge Street in Allston (District D-14).
This particular overlay device, identified as Ingenico ISC Touch 250, can be readily identified due to the extended keypad area below the “0”.
Based on information obtained, additional skimming devices are likely to be discovered in Boston and surrounding communities. These skimmers are capturing both card and pin numbers, resulting in cloned cards being produced and cash withdrawals from victim accounts.
The Boston Police Department is working with our federal partners in the recovery and processing of devices and the identification of possible suspects.” -Boston Police Department .
