Doesn’t work

Gotta be fake reviews. I tried this on active card skimmers and it said none found. Even turned on other Bluetooth devices and still said none found. I’m not sure what it’s looking for but it 100% is useless.

Confused

Sometimes when I open my app around Bluetooth, it says that a scammer was found, but then it goes right back to the screen of saying a SKIMMER was not found. Now I know this app picks up Bluetooth devices, but I’m confused if I’m actually picking up a skimmer because it goes to the “not found” screen , right after it says a skimmer was found. Can someone help me out?

Check i!

If you have anything blue tooth , turn it on and try this app. It won’t find it. It does not work at all.

No longer works

I used to love this app but now it keeps telling me I need to activate blue tooth even though it’s already on. Useless now.

Seems to be working well

After my card being scammed at a car wash last year, I found this app. I have been using it for several months. It hasn’t shown any activity, but I haven’t had a problem either.

FAQ

What does the Card Skimmer Locator app do?

This app scans for devices transmitting via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) that might be card skimmers. If a potential skimmer is detected, it will display a warning sign and its possible name.

How does the app detect card skimmers?

The app utilizes Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) scanning to identify any signals being transmitted by devices that could be card skimmers. It provides an alert if such a signal is found.

Is this app free to use?

Yes, the application is available for free. There are no associated costs for downloading or using its core features.

Can I rely solely on this app to find all card skimmers?

No, you should not rely solely on this app. It is designed as an additional means of protection and will NOT locate all card skimmers, especially those not using BLE. Always physically check card readers.
