If your trying to tell me that you got phished at a mobile station I'm telling you that you are mistaken. No way. You don't swipe at mobile stations the card goes inside the machine for a swipe. The pump don't turn on until it's authorized via SATELLITE. Same with the cash register.

This fraud stuff is taken very seriously. Exxon/Mobil has people that work for it just doing this. The pci non-compliance brings huge fines and the possible loss of accepting credit cards.

I'm not saying you didn't get your number compromised but I'm saying it wasn't at a Mobil station.

The likely hood of being skimmed by any method in that article is pretty slim. I'd say most likely your card was one of thousands hacked online months or even years ago. TJX, Hannafords, etc all have had huge hacking problems.
