    Russian Web Site with local credit card numbers

    Today on Eyewitness News at 4 we spoke to a local couple that found their credit card number on a Russian based internet document.  The document contains credit card numbers, addresses, phone numbers, and names of hundreds of people around the nation.   The couple found the site by simply entering their address into a Google search box.   The Federal Trade Commission says the site was compiled by someone who bought stolen credit card information.  

    If you find your information on something similar, report it to your credit card company and then contact local law enforcement.

    You can also contact the 3 credit reporting agencies and ask for fraud alerts to be placed on your account.  You do not have to pay for 3 months of fraud monitoring.
