Four CA Men Indicted in $2 Million credit-card skimming scheme
Four Los Angeles-area men were arrested today on federal charges stemming from
alleged schemes involving the use of “skimming” devices to lift credit card data
in order to manufacture and sell phony credit cards. The four were arrested
pursuant to federal indictments returned late last month by a federal grand jury
in Los Angeles which allege they helped steal more than $2 million from about
10,000 accounts, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
