PANAMA CITY— The Bay County Sheriff's Office is investigating the fraudulent use of a person's credit card information, according to a news release.
On Jan. 11, a woman discovered that someone had attempted to use her credit card information without her knowledge or permission. Further investigation revealed that a man attempted to use the credit card information to conduct a $503.95 transaction at a local grocery store. Because the victim still had the credit card in her possession, it is believed that the suspects encoded a card with the victim's credit card information and used the fraudulent card to conduct transactions., BCSO said.
