WI: Fabric store customers warned of debit card fraud

Posted on October 15, 2009 by Dissent

Liz Welter reports:

Officials are alerting residents that debit/credit cards used at two central Wisconsin fabric stores during late August and early September might have been compromised.

Dean Berres said.

So far, the common denominator in all the incidents is that the cards were used at card scanners at Hancock Fabrics in Marshfield and Stevens Point during late August or early September, Berres said.
