Security & Fraud · Driver Training VideoFuel Card Fraud & Skimmers

Card skimmers copy your card at the pump and a cloned card gets run hard at several locations in one day. Drivers learn to check the reader, cover the PIN, use chip or tap, and report unknown charges the same day.

What drivers learn

Your fuel card is basically a blank check with your driver ID attached. Every swipe gets logged — location, gallons, dollar amount, time of day.

Skimmers are the biggest threat at the pump itself.

Where you fuel matters too

Pumps closest to the store, in camera view and near foot traffic, get tampered with far less than the pump at the back of the lot. When you have a choice, take the one people can see.

At the keypad, cover your hand while you enter a PIN — a shoulder-surfer or a hidden camera needs a clear view to steal it. Chip and tap are both harder to clone than a swipe, so use them whenever the reader offers it.

Most pump prompts asking for your odometer or unit number aren't a scam — that's your fuel network double-checking the card matches the truck, so answer those honestly.

Fraud isn't only a stranger with a hidden device. Running personal purchases through a company fuel card — snacks, a car wash for your own vehicle, fuel for anything but the assigned truck — is fraud too, and it shows up on the same reports the skimmed charges do.

Your company standard: check the reader before every fuel-up, use chip or tap when it's available, keep your PIN covered, and match your receipt to the pump display before you pull away.

Treat that fuel card like it's your own money on the line, because a slow report can look a lot like it was.
