Florida woman reports SNAP benefits were stolen after suspicious back-to-back transactions

Tenise Farrington says she still remembers the moment she went to use her monthly SNAP benefits last month and found out the money was gone.
She says she logged onto her SNAP benefits account and found someone had drained the $300 that had been deposited. The suspicious back-to-back transactions, happening at locations in Philadelphia just minutes apart. And Tenise isn’t alone.
Across the country, more than 124,000 households have lost over $61 million in stolen benefits since last year. Criminals often use hidden skimming devices to lift the card data. Then, they use the information to create fake payment cards and steal the money from the victims’ accounts.
