Woman falls victim to credit card scam

MILTON, Ga. — A Milton woman reported to police Sept. 19 that a man claiming to be with a fraud department called her about charges on her credit card.

After confirming her identity, the caller told the victim she had more than $1,000 in charges that the victim could not see on her account because they were flagged, the police report said.

The victim said the caller walked her through steps to get her money back from the alleged fraudulent $830 Cash App transfer, which included sending $830 to the “Refund System.” After becoming aware she was being scammed, the victim tried to reverse the payment but was unsuccessful.
