Keep An Eye On Your Bank Account This Holiday Season

During this holiday season, make sure to watch your bank account, especially if you are using a debit card. Thieves can strike during the holiday season and take thousands of dollars before a bank official catches it.

A Summerville resident discovered this week that she was targeted by a thief. Ashley Mason Kielborn said someone illegally used her bank account information.

“Mrs. Kielborn advised that she was coming home from a trip and had received many email [notifications] stating she had bought all kinds of items from different places. Mrs. Kielborn stated that only one [transaction] went through. It was an Apple Mac Book which priced at $1,529.49,” Summerville Policeman Matthew Wilsons stated.
