Approximately 20 victims gathered at the Walton County Sheriff’s Office Santa Rosa substation this morning to meet with investigators regarding a recent string of credit card frauds.
The WCSO investigation began after numerous complaints had been filed by citizens in which their credit card numbers were being stolen and used in transactions outside of Walton County. Most of these thefts have occurred in the past few weeks in the South Walton area.

Investigators explained to victims how financial crimes are handled, answered victim’s questions, and assisted victims with filing the appropriate paperwork. Victims were also educated about how these criminals are committing these crimes.
The Walton County Sheriff’s Office will be assisted by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement with these cases, given the numbers were used in various places throughout the state.
The investigation is active and ongoing. If you are a victim of credit card fraud, please contact the Walton County Sheriff’s Office at 850-892-8111.
