Your credit card may have been compromised if you made a purchase at one of three Stop & Shop stores in northern New Jersey recently.
That’s because illegal credit card skimming devices were found at stores in Berkeley Heights in Union County, Bloomfield in Essex County and Clifton in Passaic County, the company announced Friday. The devices, known as “shimmers,” are attached to legitimate credit card terminals so data can be collected whenever a person swipes a card.
Stop & Shop said it removed the devices once they were found and reviewed surveillance video to determine who installed them and how long they had been at each store. Law enforcement was also notified, the company said.
A total of five stores — the three in New Jersey, one in Connecticut and another in Massachusetts — had the devices. Pin pads were checked at all locations to ensure that no other additional shimmer devices were attached, the company said.
Here is a list of the three New Jersey stores and how long the devices were attached:
- 404 Springfield Ave., Berkeley Heights: Feb. 8 to Feb. 10, 2020
- 8 Franklin St., Bloomfield: March 28 to April 9, 2020
- 1189 Broad St., Clifton: March 14 to April 16, 2020
Customers with questions can call Stop & Shop toll-free at 1-800-767-7772 Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. or Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Information about the incident is also available on the company’s website at www.stopandshop.com.
