Authorities search for suspect in gas station credit card scam

The Bibb County Sheriff's Office is looking for a man who's being accused of using fraudulent credit cards in a scam targeting customers at gas stations on Nov. 29.

The man approached cash-paying customers asking for money, according to a news release from the sheriff's office. In exchange, he offered to put double the amount of gas in their vehicle using fraudulent credit cards, according to the news release.
