NC: Piedmont Credit Union members report fraud

Posted on January 20, 2009 by Dissent

Denice Thibodeau reports:

About 15 members of Piedmont Credit Union reported fraudulent purchases on their Visa-issued debit cards Tuesday, according to credit union president Tom Shields.

Shields said people reported money missing from their account for purchases they did not make with their Visa-issued debit cards. He said the fraudulent purchases are not connected to the credit union’s ATM cards.

“Most of the purchases were made in Florida,” he said, adding that many of the purchases were made at gas stations.
