Cops nab two for credit card fraud

The Cyber Crime Police on Sunday arrested two persons by busting a credit card fraud gang and seized two gold coins weighing about 50 grams, one 32'' Sony TV, one Samsung mobile phone, gym equipment and Rs 35,000 in cash.

Cops said that the modus operandi of the accused would be to collect confidential data of credit card holders, including card number, phone numbers and other personal details, while identifying themselves as bank agents and misuse it for online shopping.

A team of cyber crime cops led by ACP K. Chitti Babu nabbed the accused — Venigalla Raju, 31, an unemployed youth from Ashoknagar in BHEL and Tulla Sunil Kumar, 28, who works with a travel Agency and is a resident of Saibhagwan Colony in BHEL, Ramachandrapu-ram on Sunday.

After gathering details, the accused would call up the customer care of the respective bank and register their phone number in the name of original credit card holder. As they provide all the card details without any suspicion the bank obliges their request.

Later they would create Email IDs in the name of credit card holders and shop online after registering this email ID, on websites such as ebay.com.

While shopping online they furnish their phone number and receive products purchased from the courier service themselves, by showing fake ID cards created in the name of credit card holders.
