Chip & PIN Fraud - Result Well Done The Old Bill

James

Another crook nicked but at some cost.

"more than 1,000 credit and debit cards were cloned at a Northampton petrol station, netting international fraudsters at least £300,000"

Suntharam Thevaratnam, 33, turned off CCTV cameras and allowed a bug to be placed inside the Chip and PIN machine at the Shell garage on the A45 near Wootton

Or any other retailer????

Unfortunatly it takes so many transactions to happen before a pattern will emerge to identify the culprit.

But petrol station & restraunts are often hit due to the high footfall and big customer base.
