Don’t Get Skimmed!
That quick swipe at the pump or ATM could cost you more than you think… Card skimmers are sneaky devices that steal your info, and they’re often hard to spot.
Good news: the South Miami Police Department now has new tech to detect skimmers and keep our community safer!
Protect yourself in seconds:
Give card readers a quick wiggle — if it’s loose, don’t use it
Cover your PIN when entering it
Tap-to-pay is safer than swiping
Stick to well-lit, busy locations
Trust your gut — if something feels off, walk away
Check your bank account for unusual charges
Stay alert. Stay secure. Protect your money.

It’s all about the customer experience, through the eyes of a local walking in, trying out the products, and sharing what makes your business shine. Think of it as a fun, influencer-style feature that brings your storefront to life from the outside in.
