Credit cards scamsters sent to police remand

The crime branch officials have nabbed some youth who are believed to be part of an inter-state gang that has mastered the art of buying goods using bogus credit cards. The five youths from Mangalore, Goa, Mumbai and Ahmedabad were caught while trying to purchase goods on bogus credit cards. Three of them -Mohammed Fadil, Dipesh Vinay Shah, and Daksh Pawar, were caught near Rajasthan Hospital.

During interrogation they revealed their modus operandi and the name of two other associates - Samim Ahmed Saiyed and Gayasuddin Mallick. The two were later nabbed by the officials.
The officials on Monday night produced the five in the court of metropolitan magistrate, SM Singhal. The five were sent to 14 days of police remand. The crime branch officials suspect that an inter-state gang is behind the racket and four or five of its members are still absconding.

The police are on the look out for the main accused, Kiran, who is said to be the brain behind the racket. The police have recovered fake credit cards of Oriental Bank of Commerce, HSBC, DBS, Standard Chartered and City Bank. The cards did not have a CVV number and some of them even lacked the identification number.
The gang used to get credit card numbers of NRIs and make fake cards of the same.
