🚨 Secret Service & NYPD Raid NYC Bodegas Stealing EBT Funds and Debit Card Info 🚨

Federal agents and NYPD officers carried out multiple raids across New York City after uncovering a major skimming operation targeting low-income families. Several bodegas were caught using fake card readers to steal EBT food stamp funds and debit card PINs, draining victims’ accounts without their knowledge.

Officials say these devices looked almost identical to real machines, making them nearly impossible to spot. The stolen data was allegedly used to clone cards and make illegal withdrawals.

Authorities are warning the public that similar scams are happening nationwide — not just in NYC. If you use EBT or debit cards, check your balance often, report strange activity, and cover the keypad when entering your PIN.

This bust is part of a growing effort to stop financial crimes targeting working families.
