@Jalil : Thanks for posting! This has happened to me before!

What does it mean? Are the pumps broken or was it credit card jacking?

@tinytim : I think this.

@Jalil :
This is concerning.

@tinytim :
could be card jacking, I would just pay at the counter to be safe

@Jalil :
and thats any gas station, if they struck there, they can strike anywhere near by.

@BarbaraandPatri :
pay at the counter, just to be safe

Several comments in that post point out that this was probably a temporary hold put on this person's account when it was erroneously entered as a debit card payment with the ZIP code being accidentally used as the PIN. Temporary holds are common practice and fall off in a day or two. There should be a notice regarding this posted at the place of business. It is not nefarious or criminal.I don't think this is a criminal issue and pity the workers Murphy's who now have been labeled as criminals because the original poster didn't bother to call her credit card company about it before posting and ruining someone's reputation.

I use cash at gas stations. That's not possible at costco but they have tap to pay so the card doesn't have to be inserted.

@Sammee :
Thanks for clarifying that! I hope you can go on FB and explain this, too!

@Jalil : I would always pay at the register no matter what. Some gas stations put a high$$ holder on certain cards because they get scammed a lot. Could also be that.

Well s***. Guess I can't go there. That was my second go-to station. Thanks for the heads up. Sorry to hear this happened in the community.

@Jalil :
Can we get a follow-up on what appears to be an incorrect claim that should have stayed hidden in that Facebook group? Was any additional information posted?

@youarewrong :
Someone commented this may be an error as they may have used a zip instead of pin. I left this up since I was corrected but they took screen shots and posted them in this thread.
