UK: Special Branch Boss Falls Victim to Credit Card Skimmers

Iain Thomson writes on vnunet.com:

There were red faces at London's Special Branch when its chief had her credit card maxed out by card skimmers.

Janet Williams found out about the scam when her credit card was declined after going over its limit.

It seems that the card was run through a scanner and its information printed onto a new card before being used by the criminals.

"We are not prepared to discuss this because it is a private matter," a police spokeswoman told The Times.
