PUNTA GORDA, Fla. — Deputies located a card reading device on a point of sale machine at the Circle K on Duncan Road in Punta Gorda.

If you have visited this location recently, changing your PIN is recommended.

The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office had several reports over the weekend from residents reporting fraudulent activity on their accounts, with a PIN used in the transaction.

If you believe you have been a victim, call your bank immediately and shut down the card.

After your account is secure, file a report with the Charlotte County Sheriffs Office.

The Economic Crimes Unit is still investigating.
