Businesses Should Look Out For Fraudsters, Chamber Warns
The Lakewood Chamber of Commerce says two people went into Fantasy World Hobbies last month and bought $1,200 worth of merchandise with a bogus credit card.

Check out the following message that the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce posted on its Facebook page:
FRAUD ALERT! The attached picture is of a person who came into Fantasy World Hobbies on the 25th of Feb and bought about $1200.00 of merchandise with a bogus credit card. On the video, their clerk even checked his ID twice so this guy must be pretty good at it. The person he was with never looked up at the cameras and was wearing a hat so they never got a good shot of him. Both of them were wearing oversized gold watches, which they're guessing weren't paid for either.
