On a subsequent look at her statement, she found someone had charged $231.08 to her credit card on Walmart.com on May 1 and picked up the purchased items at a Stone Mountain store.

On May 10, another attempt was made to buy items at the same online store at a cost of $422.94. But the purchases were denied due to the suspension of the account.

The woman told that she did not make the purchase, nor had given permission to someone else.

She has given permission to Walmart to allow Gwinnett Police to request any pertinent information during its investigation, which is ongoing.
