In California alone, officials estimate thieves steal $5 million in EBT benefits every month.
CalWORKs and CalFresh recipients - especially those in Hemet, Moreno Valley, Riverside, Corona, and Desert Hot Springs - are targeted, officials added.
The cards are stolen through skimming methods, which happens when devices are illegally installed on ATMs, point-of-sale terminals, or fuel pumps to steal data or record cardholders' PINs. The data is then used to create fake debit or credit cards and steal from victims' accounts. In Riverside County, more than 40 illegally installed skimmers were discovered and removed, authorities said. 328-9677Authorities remind the public to inspect an ATM to see if it's been tampered with. You can do this by looking for pinholes the size of the tip of a pencil, which indicate a camera has been installed. Also, cover your PIN number whenever inputting it so a camera does not record the number.
