Identity thieves apparently used other people’s debit cards to make donations to Ron Paul.

SAN ANTONIO —  Identity thieves allegedly used debit cards to make fraudulent donations to the presidential campaign of U.S. Rep. Ron Paul.

Campaign staffers spotted several hundred $5 charges from similar Internet addresses this month. Security officials for San Antonio-based Frost Bank noticed a similar pattern on check cards from an out-of-country location around the same time.

Fewer than 100 cards had unauthorized charges on them, and fewer than 500 cards were affected. Frost Bank refunded the money and canceled the affected cards.

The donations totaled more than $3,000, according to CBS News.

There’s no word yet if he’s returned the donations from neo-Nazi Don Black or conspiracy-theorist Alex Jones.
