A soldier from Colorado Springs who's in Kuwait fighting for our country has been faced with another battle, getting his money back. He's been the victim of credit card fraud.

Specialist Eddie Bianchi thinks someone who works at the Army general store in Kuwait where all the soldiers shop stole his credit card number. Since April, there's been about 8 to 10 charges that have showed on his credit card statement, all for things he didn't purchase.

"I'm guessing about 3 to 4-hundred bucks at least," Eddie Bianchi said in a phone interview with 11 News.

Eddie says the evidence is on his credit card statement.

"I found various charges from places that I've never been to over here in Kuwait," he said.

Back home in the Colorado Springs, Eddie's parents are trying to look through old statements.

"It irritates me that someone is messing with our soldiers money, the little bit that they get paid," Eddie’s dad Jim said.

Jim says they've found about eight to ten charges so far on both of Eddie's cards, one with USAA, the other with Academy Bank.

"They're not catching them because it's only 10 Dinars which is about 38 to 40 dollars," Jim said.

And Eddie says while all the fraudulent charges made to his card have been small, other soldiers have fared much worse.

"Some of them have experienced 1400 to 1500 in charges and from various places too," Eddie said.

He says he's ripped up his credit cards and until the problem gets figured out, he's decided to play it safe and stick to cash.

A spokesperson for one of Bianchi's Banks, USAA told me they are in the process of reimbursing Bianchi for the fraudulent charges.

The spokesperson says yes there is fraud in the military community overseas but it is no more of a problem there than we have here in the U.S.
