The following from today's (1-22-11) Main Line Times (emphasis added): Five Bulgarian men accused of “skimming” bank customers’ account numbers from automated teller machines (ATMs) and then withdrawing their money waived their preliminary hearing Wednesday, according to Montgomery County Assistant District Attorney Katherine McGill Magid, who is prosecuting the case.
The defendants — Dimitar Tanchev, 28, Dragomir Lipov, 26, Ismail Misankov, 31, Dimcho Vasilev, 30, and Krasimir Uzunov, 47 — were taken into custody Dec. 23 at Homewood Suites in Lower Providence. During a search of their hotel rooms, skimming devices and other items allegedly related to the fraud were discovered. Maybe the fact that they were using an extended-stay hotel as their headquarters was just a coincidence. Something to think about. ------------------------------------------------------ Alan Krigman KRF Management 215-349-6500, fax 215-349-6502 _www.krf.icodat.com_ (http://www.iconworldwide.com/krf)
