MISSOURI CITY, Texas (KTRK) -- The Texas Department of Agriculture is warning people about credit card skimmers discovered at a gas station in Missouri City.

A TDA inspector found a Bluetooth-enabled skimmer on two of the store's pumps after receiving complaints from a customer.

Missouri City Police Department responded to the location, and the devices were removed.

The best way to keep your money safe is to go to the pump closest to the storefront. Check the security tape for any tears and always save your receipt after filling up.
