• When Rhonda Deaver realized she had left her credit card at Smith's Cafe in Kinston, North Carolina, in early May, she turned around and headed back to get it. Unfortunately, a Smith's employee was right on top of things and posted the front and back of Deaver's card to a Kinston Facebook group, with all the numbers visible, WRAL-TV reported.
Deaver's family got in touch with her when they saw the post, but it was too late -- more than $2,000 in charges had already hit her account.
"I couldn't believe they did that, but I might be responsible for all those charges," Deaver said.
There were "a whole lot of declines but a whole lot that went through."
She's still disputing the charges; the Smith's owner had no comment. [WRAL, 5/8/2024]
