SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Hundreds of customers at Dollar Tree discount stores

The Secret Service offered few details about the case, but one spokesman 
said "it's big."

A Dollar Tree spokesman also would not comment, but stated, "We are

one location in the West where a suspected fraud operation has resulted in 
customer financial data being stolen and used for theft.
