ORLANDO, Fla. – The Secret Service is running a massive operation Tuesday and Wednesday, targeting credit card skimmers to crack down on EBT fraud.

Skimmers can be in supermarkets, corner stores, basically anywhere you shop.

They can swipe money from all credit cards, but EBT cards are especially susceptible because they don’t have chip technology, according to Caroline Obrien-Buster, Special Agent in Charge of the Orlando Field Office.

“To be able to come out here and pull skimmers, educate merchants as to how not to have their customers victimized will be a huge endeavor,” Obrien-Buster said.

The Secret Service teamed up with 10 local law enforcement agencies and fanned out across Central Florida. News 6 was with them.
