Two Romanian men were indicted by a federal grand jury in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for running an identity theft scam using ATM machines. Vasile Ciocan and Romulus Pasca are charged with conspiracy, fraud, and aggravated identity theft.
The two suspects allegedly attached card readers to ATM machines. They used to information gathered by their illicit devices to make phony ATM cards. The cards were then used to withdraw money from ATM machines. The suspects were caught after police were tipped to suspicious activity around ATMs in Pittsburgh.
Police warned people to keep track of their credit card and bank accounts.
