GROVEPORT, Ohio — The Groveport Police Department says a Lancaster woman is responsible for scamming as many as 100 people using the Instacart grocery app.
The suspect is not being named because she has not officially been charged yet.
Tammy Rodich of Canal Winchester says she was a faithful Instacart user until last month.
Rodich said she used the Kroger app to order groceries, which was filled by Instacart.
When the delivery arrived at her home, she noticed some items were missing. She checked her digital receipt and was shocked at what she found.
“It said I had been charged around $870. I didn’t buy $870 worth of groceries. I bought $130 worth,” she said.
Rodich said she had no idea her credit card was being used fraudulently until her groceries arrived and noticed some items were missing so she checked her credit card balance.
That’s when she knew she was scammed.
“I was furious. I was glad my bank card wasn’t attached to it. It’s the holidays and that’s a lot of money,” she said.
