Financial Transaction Card Fraud under Investigation

The Rabun County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a financial transaction card fraud. On April 25, 2024, a deputy spoke to a Rabun Gap man, who stated that he owns a local trucking company and has six fuel cards for his employees to use. He recently noticed transactions that he did not authorize. Purchases were made with a fuel card in California and Arizona totaling $6,529. He said that none of his employees traveled to those states. He told the deputy that he had frozen the fuel cards but needed a report, so he could provide it to the fuel card company in an attempt to get his money back.
