A trusting employee learned the hard way to never give out login information to someone over the phone.
Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that on Friday morning, an employee of Great Plains Trucking received a call from someone claiming to be with a company that Great Plains Trucking works with.
The caller said there was something wrong with Great Plains Trucking's account and asked for login information, which the employee provided. The caller then showed the employee how to look through various parts of the website, Forrester said.
On Monday, the employee was looking through Great Plains Trucking's transactions and discovered a transaction for $2,000 that no one had authorized. Further research found five total fraudulent transactions for a total loss of $14,000, Forrester said.
