“You never know whom,
from where, or what will occur but there is a war going on out there,” says
Tero Pollanen, a well-known cyber crime and fraud prevention specialist. The
scam of the day comes to you from Bhubaneswar, India where we read of a
graduate engineer being arrested for hacking a victim’s credit card and going
on a spending spree over the last several months. Over a three month period, he
defrauded the victim of nearly £1100
on internet adult
sites alone, in addition to purchasing a cell phone and other assorted
electronics.
An ongoing
investigation is in progress to see it the arrested was simply acting
independently or if he is part of an organized crime group. It is sad that here
we witness a bright mind whom we would expect to trust and aid in the
prevention of such affairs, rather falls into temptation and thus violates our
trust.
