Nina Pineda has the story.A Queens charity that helped feed hundreds of thousands during the pandemic is in need of a helping hand after it was victim of a booming scam called a credit card test attack.
"It wasn't a hack of our account, this was an attack," said Queens Together founder Jonathan Forgash. Victims all over the world got charged $1 or 1 euro and more than 17,000 individual transactions were successfully processed on their account. "They came back and said you have to pay us all the transaction fees out of your own pocket," Forgash said.
