International students reporting credit card fraud

On March 5, Holly Campbell reported:

Dozens of Purdue University students from China reported cases of credit card fraud, but investigators said the problem seems to have started overseas.

For the past month, dozens of Purdue students from China have reported cases of credit card and bank card fraud.

“I know that the total loss is well over $100,000, right now, for credit card fraud,” Purdue Police Det. Jared Baer said.

So far, more than 30 students have filed reports.

Investigators believe the compromise involves a bank in China. Students at Purdue are not the only international students from China reporting problems.
