Credit card scam
Local authorities have received a number of calls as credit card information from Emporians is being used for purchases and charges in the Chicago area.
Authorities believe the credit card information is being obtained in Emporia, according to Emporia Police Chief Gary Smith. The credit cards have not been stolen, so it seems the information is being taken from cards when they are being used for a legitimate purchase locally. Anyone who has been a victim of such a theft and who has not reported it, should contact local law enforcement immediately.
Anyone with information about this or any other crime should call the Emporia Police Department at 343-4200 or Lyon County Crimestoppers at 342-2273.
