Waynesboro Dollar General credit card fraudster linked to larger operation
New charges are being brought against a New York City man arrested in Waynesboro
last month, as he's been linked to a larger operation. Police arrested
24-year-old James Joseph of Brooklyn, NY on Sept. 21, after he allegedly used
fake credit cards at several area Dollar General stores. "[Large criminal
organizations] send these low level guys into rural areas and think the local
police aren’t going to dig too deep," he said. Working with a special agent with
the United States Secret Service, it was determined that several of the credit
cards confiscated on Joseph at his arrest had been fabricated with credit card
numbers from financial institutions that are outside Virginia. It is believed
that the numbers were hacked from the financial institutions. The fraudulent
credit cards are then used to buy gift cards and prepaid phone cards that are in
turn sold "on the street." dailyprogress.com
