As EMV pin and credit card reader overlay skimmers are on the rise, ensure your site(s) are well equipped to combat fraud by leveraging the Phillips 66 Skimmer Reward Program. The Phillips 66 (PSX) Skimmer Reward program is designed to assist site(s) and incentivize employees to inspect and find electronic skimming devices in dispensers. 

Sites can take the following precautions to prevent becoming a victim of credit card skimming: 

1. Conduct daily inspections. Open and inspect dispensers for devices attached internally at the card reader or on the ribbon cable, as well as external inspections for devices that snap on top of the existing card reader. These should be conducted at least daily, preferably at the start of each shift, for any sign(s) of tampering or any foreign devices installed, particularly around the card reader. Take action immediately if something is found. 
2. Replace factory installed locks. Manufacturers of fuel dispensers use a common key on all dispensers which allow for easy entry into the dispenser. These locks should be replaced with more secure locks in order to prevent entry. In addition, the manager or owner should control access to dispenser keys.  For more information, contact CompX at www.compx.com or by phone at 864-297-6655. 
3. Use security tape. Use serialized security tape on all dispensers at CRIND doors and on external card reader. When removed, this security label reveals the hidden words VOID OPENED and alerts the site that the dispenser could be compromised.  For more information, contact NovaVision at www.novavisioninc.com/p66 or by phone at 888-416-0443.

As a reminder, PSX will cover 75% of the cost of locks and security tape through the Cooperative Fund Program.  

For all sites conducting and logging daily inspections, PSX’s “Skimmer Reward Program” will pay the following rewards. Upgrades and proactive measures will be factors in qualifying for the following rewards.  

• $100.00 Phillips 66 gift card reward will be offered to sites that report a skimming device found during scheduled daily inspections (internal & external dispenser inspection for skimming device).  
• $200.00 Phillips 66 gift card reward will be offered to sites that report a skimming device found during scheduled routine inspections (internal & external dispenser inspection for skimming device) and have previously installed upgraded locks on the dispensers. 

• $300.00 Phillips 66 gift card reward will be offered to sites that report a skimming device found during routine inspections (inspection of security tape at CRIND doors and on external card readers only) and have previously installed upgraded locks on the dispensers and utilize security tape.
