Credit Card Scam

There is a large organized group traveling around the country with closed credit cards duping merchants into forcing authorizations into their terminals.
This is an old scheme that has been going on for years. Merchants should be aware that if you have a customer in front of you that claims he is having problems with their credit card and need to call "their bank" to "get straightened out" and then hands their cell phone over to the clerk, this is fraud. The person on the other side of the cell phone is an accomplice, not their bank. In some cases before the merchant runs the card through, they will do the same thing with the cell phone or they may just state that they are having problems with their card and here is "their authorization" number, again, this is fraud.
Part of the group is currently traveling through Oklahoma, Chicagoland, Milwaukee and St. Louis. They are driving around in a 2009 red Kia Sodona which is listed as stolen and rented through Enterprise.
All are coming out of the Atlanta area. In some cases, males are posing as females.
They were going to hit Apple stores and other electronic stores to purchase laptops, etc.
