Butcher shops across New England and the U.S. are facing significant financial distress due to scams involving stolen credit cards. In several incidents, shop owners like Roberto Alonzo and Paulo Xavier reported large meat orders intended for donation to homeless shelters. These orders, totaling thousands of dollars, were paid for using stolen credit cards, leaving the businesses to suffer heavy losses. While local police are investigating these scams, affected owners are turning to crowdfunding to recoup their losses, highlighting the dire impact on their livelihoods and the community.
Alonzo reported that three men placed orders totaling around $60,000 for meat intended for homeless shelters, only to later discover the payments were made with stolen credit cards.
Xavier recounted being scammed for over $10,000 after being deceived by an individual who claimed that the meat would be donated to those in need.
