Twinsburg Man's Account Used From South Africa

Buying luggage for a trip to South Africa sounds great – unless you're paying for someone else's bags.

A Concord Court man got a call from Huntington Bank on April 19 when someone used his account to buy luggage in South Africa for $800. Huntington stopped the transaction before it was completed.

While on the phone the man found his account had been used in three other purchases around the United States.

Someone spent $500 in a baby store in New Jersey and two charges of $6 each were made at a hotel in Washington state.

Huntington said it would begin an investigation into the fraudulent purchases.
