Another redbox Rip-Off Problem.

For your consideration: Another redbox Rip-Off Problem.
Take a look at the image below.
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.

Thanks for the code David! I’ll have to give it a try.
I didn’t know about redbox ripoff problem before this. I will be on the lookout from now on.
It’s really sad that people have to do this. It ruins everyone’s fun.
