Deputies say a recent case shows why it is wise to regularly review your financial statements as a way to guard against identity theft. Doing such a review allowed a local man to realize an employee had used his business debit card numerous times, bilking him out of a significant amount of money. When Jack Huffman called deputies Monday, he had already done his own investigation of the crime. He alleges the employee, a 35-year old Goldsboro man, had given the card number for billing of 13 calls to an adult entertainment phone line. It turns out the man had used multiple cards to pay for similar calls. Deputies are continuing their investigation, and have made no arrests.
