Police are warning business owners of a possible scam involving credit card transactions. During February a number of businesses across Northern Ireland who sell scented candles were contacted by a male who purchased a number of candles and paid for the transaction, over the phone, with a credit card. A short time later the candles were collected. The businesses later discovered that the credit card transactions were fraudulent. All of these transactions took place on the same day. A business in Portadown received a similar call today and police are warning business owners to be vigilant and protect themselves from this type of scam. Anyone who believes they have been a victim of this scam or would like crime prevention advice, can contact their local police on the 101 non-emergency number.
