Dear North End residents,

Recently we have had large-scale credit and debit card compromises at several Boise-area restaurants.  The card information was ‘hacked’ remotely through the Internet from an unknown source (not the fault of an employee).  This trend is nationwide and we are seeing more examples of it locally.  The best defense is to keep a close eye on your accounts and file a dispute with your bank or credit union immediately if you find unauthorized transactions.  It’s easy to get complacent so we recommend that you check your accounts on a regular basis.

If you find yourself a victim of this type of crime, contact the Better Business Bureau at 208-342-4649.
