Jonesboro, AR – (JonesboroRightNow.com) – July 17, 2024 – A 24-year-old Jonesboro woman reported to police that her debit card number had been somehow hacked.
She provided officers a list of dates and amounts that the card had been used at a Walmart in Bentonville. Total fraudulent charges…$5,101.65.
Her records indicated that the unauthorized charges began on September 28, 2021, with the most recent charge happening late last week.
The officer handling her complaint recommended she contact her bank immediately and get a new debit card.
So, why did it take almost 3 years to notice the charges?
She said she only realized there was a problem when she tried to use the debit card herself, but couldn’t, because her account was empty and overdrawn.
