AN investigation into an international-based credit card scam at a Weymouth petrol station has been closed and all suspects released from police bail.


More than 600 victims were affected by the scam last year which used cloned credit cards to net a huge amount of money by preying on drivers using the Shell garage on Dorchester Road.

I thought this would have been one for the DCPCU.

It's very easy to deter this sort of crime.

    So, instead of just losing your card and money, they CUT of your thumb as well!

    Excuse my stupidity, but surely it is a debit card fraud, if the money is coming out of accounts. Credit cards,well anyway the one I have, are not linked to any bank account.
