A few tips to protect yourself…

Authorities were forced to warn people not to pick up folded money left on the ground. According to a warning from police here in Giles County, on two occasions, bills found at gas stations contained a powdery white substance that tested positive for methamphetamine and fentanyl.

Authorities also warned about an uptick in skimmers on gas pumps. Skimmers can steal your credit or debit card information when attached to a payment terminal. They can be hard to detect, and victims don't realize their information has been compromised until they get a bank statement or overdraft notice, according to the Federal Trade Commission.
