Two people in Boquete have had fraudulent charges put on their credit cards immediately after using their cards at Quick Fix (across from Plaza Los Establos). The charges were mostly local for things like phone cards, Netflix orders, etc.
Also one of these persons has also told me they twice caught the attendant at the Terpel station just up from CEFATI not zeroing out the pump before pumping gas.
Be careful out there folks.

I am the person who got her credit card hacked. I went to the police and my lawyer, no one could help. So I went to my Panamanian neighbor. He talked to the manager at Quick Fix and found out that Monday when all this was happening, the girl ran out of the business and has not been seen. Her phone number is turned off. The boss told me he will do everything he can to resolve this, and because I know that Quick Fix is a good and honest business, I believe him. I have been using them for years and really like how well they have kept my car running. Please don't blame Quick Fix for this young women's bad habit.
Ok all, I went to the Personeria, across from Fenosa, and had a translator help me file a formal complaint. I told them I don't want to send this young women to jail, but want all of Boquete to know not to hire her if she is going to use credit cards. Had to change all my credit card numbers with Cable Onda, my phone and other things I pay monthly with that card, but all is well now. I am still mad that this is happening in lovely Boquete. Can't wait to have the roads fixed and we have water and electric every day. Won't that be nice! Maybe other folks can look at their bank statements and see if there is any suspect stuff. Especially for Netflix and Moviestar recharges.She worked at several other shops around town.
I have her cédula, but it way too small to see it. When I go to court, I will take a photo.
The Terpel station past Cefati going toward town, or the one past Cefati after leaving town in the direction toward David?

Did either of these people alert Quick Fix?
Yes. My friend said they got very defensive and nervous.
