Police: Credit Card Fraud on the Rise in West Tennessee

DOWNTOWN JACKSON — Jackson police say credit card fraud is becoming more common in West Tennessee. Police also say they are not sure how these criminals are able to get card numbers. On March 13, someone used another woman’s credit card information at Panera Bread on Vann Drive. The woman told investigators her card was used there and again one day later in Wildwood, Fl. Police said the thieves do not actually steal the credit cards, but somehow retrieve the information off of the card. If you believe that you are a victim of credit card fraud, contact your local law enforcement.
