Daijiworld Media Network – Bengaluru (EP)

Bengaluru, Sep 16: CID police have arrested two foreigners for stealing debit and credit card details of customers by installing skimming units and mini cameras in ATM kiosks.

The international cheaters are identified as Dan Sabian Christian (40) from Romania and Mare Janos (44) from Hungary.

They used to obtain secret codes of customers from some ATM machines of Kotak Mahindra Bank, City Bank and Canara Bank. The arrests were made following complaints by some customers.

Both have confessed that they had come to India only with the intention of stealing information from debit and credit cards.

“Skimming instruments, computers, memory cards and other items have been recovered from them,” said CID director general Kishore Chandra in a news conference on Friday, September 15.

Both the accused, who arrived together on September 1 to India for the first time on tourist visa, were planning to fly to United Kingdom on September 19.

    These people did not steal our money. They steal information related to money, bank & our country.
    They are the employees of well paid big overseas organization.

    Card frauds are less in India as compared to other countries. Some of the the south east Asia coutries, Africa and latin America they'll be definitely higher.

    A classic example of how foolproof security systems we have in India. Imagine, even the Europeans know how to create/forge transactions of electronic transactions. Reason? Because our technology has gone viral. We have outdated machines which can easily be pilfered by any Tom Dick or Harry and everyone knows how techno savvy we are. .

    Another important feature ... we are miles away from adapting to our latest technology because we do not have an allocation of budget for such things. The current technology which we have on our ATM machines across the country have been DONE AWAY WITH several years ago in the foreign countries .. The pilfering, stealing debit and credit card details, skimmers whatever you call is a kids toy / play game. Need to say more?

    The sooner a drastic change to curb this takes place, it will be for the betterment of all.

    By evil activities, terror, fundamentalist, etc. etc. we only destroy humanity all over the world. For construction of humanity each one should contribute good and only good. Only good alone can do good for the badly suffering humanity all over the world due to terrorism, fundamentalism and evil activities. Day by day global state of goodness deteriorating and becoming worse and worse. If we, each one, will not wake up at least now then the worst sure to hit already badly suffering humanity all over the world. It is we, each one, responsible for the good and bad of tomorrow.
    Even the so called developmental activities destroyed more than half of our environment and society all around the world due to misuse and irrelevant practices. We, each one, should make an about turn and reconstruct the world from every angle. Then only we have future. Stop digging one’s own grave and say no to domes day. Thank you and God bless each and every one of us.
