The Texarkana Texas Police Department is reminding residents to stay alert when donating or making purchases at fundraising tables outside local businesses.
The Texarkana Texas Police Department is reminding residents to stay alert when donating or making purchases at fundraising tables outside local businesses.
Police say while most fundraisers are legitimate, a recent incident shows how things can go wrong. A local woman agreed to buy candy bars for $10, but when her card was processed, she was charged $500 instead.
The woman was able to recover her money through her credit card company, but not without time and hassle.
Officers urge the public to always double-check the amount before paying, avoid feeling pressured, and trust their instincts if something doesn’t seem right.
Authorities say staying cautious can help prevent costly mistakes.
