A fake pin pad used as a card-skimming device meant to steal credit card information was discovered in the self-checkout line of an Atlanta-area Kroger grocery store, police say.
The fraud was uncovered on June 6. That's when the Atlanta Police Department was called to the store located on Greenwood Avenue SE.
There, they spoke with a store employee, who “discovered that a fraudulent pin pad had been placed on one of the self-checkout machines,” according to a police statement.
