THIS IS NOT A JOKE!!!

I didn't see this posted but I know quite a few members are from the NKy region and thought I would spread the word.

If you have eaten at Margaritas off Mt. Zion Rd. and have used your credit/debit card to pay, keep a close eye on your account or better yet just cancel the card and have a new one sent to you. Seems a waiter was stealing the card info and selling to people in Mexico racking up charges on the cards.

I saw this on the news earlier this week.

It makes you afraid to use your debit card in restraurants. This guy did it all alone too.

Thanks for the heads up. We eat there all the time and always pay with a card. My wife's debit card was compromised a month or two back and used by someone in California. The bank took care of that, I wonder if it is related. I'll have to look into it. Thanks again

From what they were saying on the news the guy who was stealing all the info, was selling all the credit card info to people in Mexico...
It is starting to suck that you can't really use your credit cards anymore. I carry very little cash especially when I am driving the limos. If I do get robbed they can't get any cash from me. If they do take my credit cards I can always cancel them and make a police report so I won't be responsible for any of the charges while my cards were stolen...

this is very common place especially if they have ties to any latin gangs.

Another reason why we should exterminate illegal aliens.
