I used to fill up in Camden on my way back from New York into Philadelphia, and never with my usual credit card - I had one specific for gas and automotive costs (which got me free Amtrak rides, basically), and about a decade ago, that card was regularly cloned by New Jersey gas station attendants. It never really affected me, I'd get a new card in the mail in short notice, but I was always struck by how they'd just go to Wal Mart or a convenience store, and never actually blow that much.

- relyks 3y agoThis is probably what was happening. Once it gets noticed, the purchases are deemed fraudulent and the cards are closed. I had my credit card information stolen in a similar scenario. They spent $500 at Walmart and I noticed :)
