ID Theft Case

A worker at Wilkes Regional Medical Center is the community's latest ID Fraud victim. Sharon Gregory tells sheriff deputies she was notified by her credit card company Monday afternoon that someone had used her account without authorization. There were three transactions that triggered the company's warning: two very small ones to MCI and a company known as CIC, along with a 75-dollar purchase to the Sport Authority. All three were done online, and the card company was able to give Gregory the name used by an Idaho woman who had been responsible for one of the transactions. She isn't out any money, as the card company has reversed the charges.
