$1 charge leads to credit fraud suspicion

By Abby Wucherer, Daily Register

When Rudy Wehert of Poynette was notified of a $1 charge to his Home Depot credit card that he never made, he immediately recalled a radio show he listened to just days earlier.

The show, "Up Front with Vicki McKenna," discussed scams that commandeer financial accounts through random number generators.

"The way I understand it, they run these numbers through the computers. That's the way (Glen) Loyd from consumer protection was discussing it," Wehert said.
