They come bearing counterfeit credit cards

Three men were arrested recently when they left Brooklyn and came to a small town in south Maine with one intent: Use 165 counterfeit cards to purchase as much as they possibly could, then leave. These men came into town at 3:00am, checked into a hotel for 3 hours, and then go on a shopping spree with 165 counterfeit credit cards containing credit card information fraudulently obtained. I think about how three guys in Brooklyn obtain card information, get equipment to create counterfeit cards, and then go and use this information to purchase items. If it is seriously that easy for them, think about how easy it is for anyone to obtain your credit card information and then re-create that information onto a fake card. Think about who you are handing your credit card to. If you think about it like this, you may start to really look for a location that utilized Dine Fraud Free Equipment.
