The Livingston County Sheriff's Department urges anyone who ordered a Domino's pizza over the phone to double check their financial information for fraud.

On Thursday, a male suspect called Domino's stores in Michigan, including the store at 1876 N. Latson Road in Oceola Township, to obtain personal and financial information, according to a sheriff's department release.

"A male suspect would contact the Domino's store from a spoofed corporate Domino's number and request the name of the customer and telephone number because the credit/debit transaction did not go through," the release states.

Once the suspected scammer had names and phone numbers, he called and requested credit and debit card numbers directly from customers.

This type of scam is referred to as "phishing," when someone fishes around for financial information or other sensitive data by pretending to have a legitimate reason to ask for it.

"The Livingston County cases appeared to be more harassing in nature and no fraud victims have been identified yet," according to the sheriff's department.
