If you’ve traveled through Nashville International Airport (BNA) in the past few months, hopefully you had a chance to check out the great art and hear some of the free music concerts, which include a noontime performance today by David Anderson.
But if you’ve stopped to get something to eat at the airport recently, be sure to look closely at your bank and credit card statements. Officials thought they’d stopped a debit/credit card scam being operated at one of the food vendors back in October, but it looks like the problem is back.
This article includes a contact number in case you think your card may have been compromised at the airport.
