Detectives are looking further into the investigation and has sense began to unravel a scam operation covering multiple states and multiple international suspects.
“Every business is susceptible to fraud. That’s largely because there are so many different kinds of fraud. While consumers are typically protected from credit card fraud, the merchant could be on the hook for these illegitimate purchases. With that in mind, pay close attention to unusually high charges or irregular payment activity. The quick and diligent response from the business owner and the Sheriff’s Office today was instrumental to the success of this investigation. It’s time for all of us to double down on keeping ourselves safe!” Sheriff Stevens said.
This investigation is ongoing.
