I just got back from Social Service. Someone skimmed my EBT card. I'm in California. They said it happening everywhere. I'm 72 and that's really going to hurt. It's going to hurt so many people. Now I'm scared to even use to the new one they gave me. I think maybe they need machines that can tell when a skinning device is in the machine.

How do they withdraw without the victim’s physical card from the ATM or any card processor

[@MariahTheElusiveSongbird]

They're using card skimmers, and I'm 99% sure the employees are doing it.

[@jessiebridges0208]

Bruh it's not funny. Not everyone has the cash money to pay for food especially during these times of inflation plus bills to pay bro.

[@RileeNelson1993]

I say good maybe they need to get real jobs instead of sitting on their behinds every month waiting for free money from the government

[@olamnide99]

Umm you don’t know what these people are going through so instead of being ignorant and commenting something like this……pray you never have to be in this situation. Things can change real quick.

[@jewelharrington2284]

No ever one is not like what you say sir/ma’am

[@MariahTheElusiveSongbird]

You're upset at the victims of fraud, but not at the criminals who not only stole their benefits but can easily do it you, too. Make it make sense.

[@jessiebridges0208]

Excuse me? Do you not care about the disabled people such as my Aunt for example who cannot work? People with innocent kids? People who are homeless on the streets? If you don't, then that's fucked up. There is a reason why they are getting money from the government
