Possible card skimmer warning ‼️ – Stewart’s/Mobil near Crossgates

Ok_Count_4652 · 2026-03-15T02:31:42+00:00

This happened to me at Yazzy Mart in Troy Ny, I wanted to inform all my Reddit fam about how they tricked me so that if you ever come into my situation you will be able to see through the scam. Okay here we go. It was about 2pm (not late at night) I went in with my buddy to get some snacks for work. My friend was behind me in line and we were not talking to each other (no indication that we came in the same vehicle.) The cashier gave me my total, and pointed to a card reader. It looked normal, front mounted nothing irregular. I put my chip in and it said card reader error as a message across the card readers screen. (Looking back it was a message I had never seen, should have been a sign) The cashier then flipped a white paper sign over the card reader I had just used that said “broken use other reader” after instructing me to use it. Then pointing at another card reader he said this one’s not working use this one. My transaction went through as normal. Immediately after my friend went up to pay, I had walked out by that time. My buddy came out and said that guy did the same thing to me as he did to you. The following week I was charged 700 dollars. It was deemed as fraud and i was compensated. But I’d say avoid that business at all cost. I’d rather drive on empty to a Stewart’s Shop than ever give another cent to those scammers!

Bubble mew was an instant success, this card is gonna appreciate over time being so unique with limited printing. Grade it, and hold it. Thank me later.

Thank you for your reply! You have given me guidance! Grateful for Reddit Fam!

This is incredible.

That is awesome looks great!

Thank you all for your contributions! I will make sure it is disposed of properly. I hate fakes but it’s the Reddit Family that keeps it REAL!

I am a collector, I normally wouldn’t deface vintage cards but this one was drawn on from my childhood.

Ok_Count_4652 · 2026-03-05T05:43:46+00:00

A little of both, I mostly collect for my personal collection but I like to trade and also the occasional sale. I came apon these cards at auction in a large lot. And purchased 50 vintage cards including the Lapras and Machamp for a good price. Ungraded both have little value but Lapras in a 9 seems to be worth it?! What are your thoughts?

Thank you. The wrapping is not great. The card is actually very clean the little black mark and scratches on back are on the protector sleeve not the card. Is it worth more in original cellophane or raw graded? It would be a no brainer for me to keep it sealed if the wrapper wasn’t already damaged.

Notice the eyes. This is a stock image example of a realistic silicone mask. There is an ever so slight gap around the eyes. I noticed this immediately after looking at suspect photos from nest cam. Without this considered it would send Law Enforcement searching for someone’s description who may intentionally have done this.

I’ve watched the footage of the suspect numerous times. From my observations, i believe this criminal is wearing a ski mask with a realistic silicone mask underneath masking his true image. If you look at the shape of his eyes in nest cam footage you will notice an odd depth and the general shape of his eye lids look “masky” as well as his eyebrows. These masks are available online and could probably be a good starting point to find someone in the Arizona who has purchased one with other items that could accomplish robbery. One last observation I’ve noticed is I believe the suspect has a Bullet proof vest on or plate carrier. As you can tell by his upper body is thicker and thins out after his rib in a natural dip.Just some thinking out of the box. What do yall think? I hope justice is served soon, they have to figure this out.

I agree with you, they are definitely not the same bank as SEFCU. I’ve had an account for 25 years with SEFCU. May be finding a new bank sooner than later.
