Calling Card Scam Hits Family Dollar

Another store in Abilene has been scammed out of $200 worth of calling card pin numbers.

A man called the clerk at the Family Dollar on Barrow and identified himself as someone with the corporate office.

The man then asked for pin numbers on the prepaid phone cards that were in stock at the store, to which the clerk obliged, giving out $200 worth of numbers from the cards.

The clerk hung up, then called the corporate office only to find out they did not make the call.

The same scam happened at Stripes on Industrial Boulevard just last month.
