Woman hit by credit card fraud three times [The Moultrie Observer, Ga.]

Sept. 28--MOULTRIE -- A Moultrie woman reported a case of credit card fraud Thursday. She said it was the third time she'd had a problem like this, and all were related to the same chain of grocery stores.

Phyllis Creed, Gatewood Circle, told deputies she had been contacted by Discover, who told her someone was trying to make a transaction of more than $1,000 at a Myers Grocery store in Michigan using her credit card. The credit card company asked if she wanted the transaction approved and she did not.

Creed said twice before someone has charged $80 and $30 to her Discover card, both times at a Myers Grocery store in different states. She said each time she has changed her account information.
