"A would-be scam targeted vendors for the Napa Truffle Festival (scheduled Friday, January 17 through Monday, January 20, 2025): someone posing as co-owner Steve Carlin contacted food-truck operators and asked for a $50 daily fee to reserve space. One vendor fell victim and $22 in fraudulent charges were posted to his card before the bank intervened. The market's team warned its Instagram followers about the scheme, and anyone contacted by the scammers is encouraged to reach out to the Napa Police Department." - Dianne de Guzman
