Thief uses duplicate card
A 44-year-old Macomb Township woman reported to police that someone charged $218 in merchandise in Texas to her Discover credit card without her authorization, according to the Macomb County Sheriff's Office.
The credit card company notified the victim Jan. 8 of the fraud that took place at a store in Universal Court, Texas. The unknown suspect was somehow able to obtain a duplicate card for the purchase and then tried unsuccessfully to charge another couple hundred dollars at the same location, a police report stated.
A Discover representative contacted the victim about the fraud and possible identity theft. The Macomb Township woman then closed her credit card account to prevent further unauthorized charges, the report stated.
