CC skimmers are pretty easy to see and avoid, if you know what to look for because they sit right on top of the Point of Sale device. They try to disguise them, but you can't fake things like keypad depth, wear on keys, height of a card reader clamshell, etc etc.
I caught one before the bad guy could come back and download the credit card numbers. I cut the wires to the batteries and now use it as a teaching aid.
And it was INSIDE THE STORE, not outside.
NFC cards, or the ones that use Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, etc are a terrible idea.
RFID cards, or more precisely CARD READERS will prompt you to leave your card in the reader while the transaction goes through. They have much better encryption and are now the standard.
I don't know any business owner who doesn't care about credit card fraud. He's going to rack up a metric sh!+ ton of charge backs. It's not a profit for him, why would he be "in on it"?
