December 23, 2013 (San Diego) – If you shopped at Target between November 27 and December 15, your credit card or debit card information may have been breached due to a hack. Up to 40 million cardholders may be impacted.
Target says it’s begun notifying customers via email and letters of the potential for fraud on these accounts, and has alerted all of the credit networks of the affected card numbers. The major credit card companies are alerting financial institutions as well so that they can take fraud protection steps.
Customers will NOT be responsible for any fraud that may occur on these accounts.

November 29, 2012 (La Mesa) – Viejas firefighters, clad in uniforms, Santa hats and reindeer antlers, rolled into action at Target in Grossmont Center today to stock up on toys for needy local children. More than 80 Viejas tribal government staffers donated funds to purchase 30 bicycles.
“We’re here because we want to bring a little bit of joy to some kids who may need that,” Viejas Tribal Chairman Anthony Pico told ECM. “We know what it’s like to be poverty stricken and perhaps to have Christmas with no gift. It means so much more when you know where you’ve come from and where you’re going.” He smiled, adding with a Santa-like twinkle in his eye, “These are some of the most fun times of the year.”
