Napa card scam part of a trend
November 17, 2009
Napa victims of recent debit card theft are not alone. Similar cases of this type of theft have unfurled across the world with increasing pace, authorities said. And the crooks have gotten more ingenious at siphoning out debit card information from anywhere along its path from the time of the purchase to when it is transmitted to a central computer server. There have also been widespread reports of fraud in Australia, Canada, including in Manitoba, British Columbia and Montreal among other places. The Australian investigators have been working with police worldwide in attempting to stem the tide. But officials couldn't say, however, if some of those investigators were in the United States.
