UWPD Investigating Credit Card Fraud

• Incident date: September 9, 2015, 12:00 pm
• Incident type: Fraud
• Location/address: 333 East Campus Mall

Over the last 48 hours, the UW-Madison Police Department has taken numerous calls regarding credit card fraud. All of the cases seemed to have occurred in the area of 333 East Campus Mall.

Through our investigation, it appears as if the fraud occurred at a nearby, off-campus business or businesses. We’re unsure exactly which business(es) have been impacted, and we’re currently investigation how the fraud occurred.

If you’ve been impacted by this particular credit card fraud case, it is NOT necessary to contact UWPD. However, if you’ve lost money and your financial institution will not reimburse you for the fraudulent charges, please call (608) 264-COPS to file a report.

UWPD continues to investigate and work the case with our partners at the City of Madison Police Department.
