Another redbox Rip-Off Problem.

For your consideration: Another redbox Rip-Off Problem.

Take a look at the image below.

Redbox Card Skimmer

What the aforementioned is is a credit card skimmer attached to a redbox movie rental machine. You know redbox; those popular rental vending machines that only charge you a dollar a night to rent a movie. You can also return redbox DVDs to any redbox machine anytime anywhere. redbox is a convenient service, and it’s cheap, cheap, cheap.

The credit card skimmers that a$$es are attaching to redboxes will steal your card number. So look out!

One of our guys was telling us today that he saw a someone in a wheelchair that could only move his right arm, but still was successfully using a redbox. Guys like this can use the redbox, but they probably can’t remove the skimmer that might steal their credit card number.

If you see one of these skimmers . . . do us ALL a favor, and rip it off the machine!



Good luck out there.

Lol, I hope some1 doesn't get confused and rips off the actual credit card accepter. Maybe you should just ask for management if you are suspicious.

I have a redbox where I work. There are codes you can use to get the first night free! So if you return it after just one day it was FREE! There is a sign in our breakroom at work that says if you use the code "breakroom" you will get 1 night free. Google it though, there are many other codes, they don't all work at the same places.
