We received the following message regarding attempted fraud –
Diane and I have detected attempted fraudulent activity on one of our accounts.
The transaction appeared on our statement as JS Online grocery.
Fortunately, Diane picked up on this and it has been successfully resolved.
We would just like to warn others to be aware and to check statements for unusual activity.
