Shoppers who have bought items at Primark stores at the Willow Grove Mall or King Of Prussia Mall recently might want to check their credit card statements carefully as credit card skimming devices have been found on cash registers at both malls.

The retailer said the skimmers may have been stealing information from customers for nearly three months.

According to information released Thursday by Primark, stores at King of Prussia and Willow Grove — as well as at locations in Boston; Danbury, Connecticut; and Freehold, New Jersey — were found to have "skimmers" placed over credit card readers at check out locations.

Credit card skimmers are devices discreetly fitted over card readers in order to read and steal a owner's digital payment information when the card is used to make a purchase at the store,

Primark said in its press release.

These skimmers are typically smaller than a deck of cards and can be hard to detect.
