This report is being written for a 79 year old man that is a member of my credit union. He has had $600.00 dollars worth of fraudlent transactions run thru his VISA account with us at the credit union. He had absolutely no idea what was going on until he received his statement in the mail and he then had to call me for help. Apparently it is a common practice for Pizza Hut to not ask for proper identification when accepting a credit card as payment.
This poor mans credit card number was stolen and it has been used all over southren California for pizza of all things. If the proper identification would have been asked for maybe this could have been stopped before it got to this point. My plea to Pizza Hut is that if you are willing to accept credit cards over the phone or in person make it a policy to ask for identification or to see the signed card it might deter you from having potential liability with your customers.
At this point I have proceeded with the necessary steps to go after Pizza Hut for the funds that you owe this man. I expect your full cooperation with the matter since you don't have two legs to stand on.
