Once again debit fraud seems to be rearing its ugly head. Last summer there was a rash of unauthorized transactions in California that were linked to the Aldi debit card scanner in the Wheeling store. Now a new wave in the same larea? Not so good. And now we have Minnesota thrown into the mix. This new info comes courtesy of Gremlin on CW.
