摘要

很少有将被盗信用卡数据变现的方案像燃料盗窃骗局一样大胆。嵌入在加油站内的撇脂装置可以窃取客户的信用卡数据，这些数据可以用于从事任何非法经济活动，然而，关于加油站撇脂的实证研究几乎不存在。本研究使用来自德克萨斯州的数据来研究加油泵脱脂的模式，重点关注2020年6月解除COVID-19封锁前几个月和之后一年的患病率变化。我们的研究结果表明:(1)在COVID-19封锁后，撇油点击率显着增加;(2)即使在控制其他结构特征(包括理论相关因素，如天然气平均价格)的情况下，这种“COVID效应”仍然存在。

Skimmed at the Pump: How COVID-19 Lockdowns Increased Gas Pump Skimming

Few schemes for monetizing stolen credit card data are as bold as the fuel theft scam. Skimming devices embedded inside gas pumps steal credit card data from customers which can be used to engage in any manner of illegal economic activities, however, empirical research on gas pump skimming is virtually non-existent. This study uses data from the State of Texas to examine the patterning of gas pump skimming, focusing on changes in prevalence in the months prior and the year following COVID-19 lockdowns being lifted in June 2020. Our findings suggest that (1) skimmer hits significantly increased after COVID-19 lockdowns and (2) that this “COVID effect” persisted even when controlling for other structural characteristics, including theoretically-relevant factors such as the average price of gas.
