I purchased $42.21 worth of gas on pump #3 at about 8 PM on 5/8/2017 using my credit card. Immediately after that, my bank informed me of suspicious activity: a pre-authorization debit at Walmart #1263 for $113.94. I obviously couldn't have been at Walmart and the gas station simultaneously so that's probably why my card was flagged. I called the gas station to speak to the manager but an attendant with a heavy Indian/Pakistani accent answered. I had to verbally wrestle with him to get the manager to call me. The manager called back quickly (an Indian/Pakistani woman, P. V., full caller I.D. withheld for privacy) who said I would need to contact my bank and she would check pump #3. I learned from the credit card dispute department that gas pumps equipped with devices to fraudulently intercept card information (google "credit card skimmer") are a frequent occurrence. The gas station may be guiltless but I'm posting this just in case someone has the same experience.
