Local police are investigating after several residents reported fraud.
Butler City Police were recently informed that some Electronic Benefit Transfer cards belonging to local people had minimal charges made on the east side of the state.
All of those affected used their cards at the Dollar General on Main Street in Butler. When contacted by police, the store checked but did not find any skimmer device.
Anyone who made a purchase at that Dollar General within the past 48 hours is asked to check their accounts for possible fraudulent charges which should be reported to Butler City Police.
According to the welfare office, the app enables users to lock a card both from out of state purchases, and from purchases in general. They recommend that people use the app to keep their card locked if they’re not currently using it.
This investigation is ongoing.
