January 7th, 2012, 10:46 GMT • By Eduard Kovacs Romanian Charged for Running HSBC ATM Skimming Scam A Romanian man is charged by a court of conspiracy to commit bank fraud and bank fraud after he was arrested for running a card-skimming operation involving HSBC automated teller machines (ATMs) in New York. Laurentiu Iulian Bulat is accused of placing skimming devices at 40 ATMs belonging to the New York branch of HSBC, one of the largest banking and financial services organizations in the world. According to Wired, from May 2010 to January 5, 2011, the accused, along with other known and unknown individuals, installed card-skimmers and pinhole cameras at ATMs in Westchester, Manhattan and Long Island. Special Agents from the United States Secret Service monitored their operations and after carefully investigating reports, records and video images they were able to arrest Bulat while trying to set up another skimmer. “Bulat walked into the ATM vestibule area and went to the first ATM machine,” Eric Friedman, one of the Special Agents involved in the operation, wrote in the court affidavit. “Bulat spent a few minutes at the machine, and his body was up close against the machine with his back to me. From my observation of him, he did not appear to be engaged in an ordinary ATM transaction.” http://news.softpedia.com/news/Romanian-Charged-for-Running-HSBC-ATM-Skimming-Scam-245064.shtml |
