More Fraud Victims Surface
The Suffolk News-Herald reports more victims are surfacing in a police investigation of a fraud that has swindled residents of Suffolk out of a total of more than $35,000. Suffolk police first issued a warning June 3 that a number of people who had recently purchased fuel at the Murphy USA station on North Main Street had been victimized. In every case, according to city spokeswoman Debbie George, the victims had used their debit card and entered a personal identification number at the pump. Sometimes within hours, unknown suspects in California had apparently manufactured copies of the cards and used them at automated teller machines to withdraw hundreds, even thousands, of dollars from the victims’ accounts, usually after doing a balance inquiry to see how much money was available.http://www.suffolknewsherald.com/2011/06/13/more-fraud-victims-surface/
