A Hess Road woman told Niagara County Sheriff's deputies on Sunday that someone had used her Visa card to make a purchase without her consent.

According to the report filed by the Niagara County Sheriff's Office, a purchase was made online on March 8, posting on March 9. The woman told patrol that the card itself was in her possession so someone must have somehow obtained the card number and used it to make the purchase.

The complainant told patrol that the Visa account has been suspended but that Sprint was holding her accountable for the fraudulent purchase. The Sprint fraud department requested a law enforcement investigation update.

The woman was advised that a report on the incident would be on file with NCSO and would be available for CIB review.
