In a coordinated operation, a criminal network stole 1.4bn Yen (7.4bn CFA Franc) from cash machines across Japan in a three hour period.
Authorities
believe over 100 thieves used forged credit cards from South Africa to steal
money from 1,400 convenience store ATMs.
In
each of the 14,000 withdrawals, the maximum amount of 100,000 Yen (535,313
CFA Franc) was taken in Tokyo and 16 other Japanese prefectures.
Japanese
police, through Interpol, have asked South African authorities how the 1,600
credit cards were obtained.
The
name of the South African bank where the cards originated from has not been
named.
Police
say the geographical distance between the bank an the targeted ATMs allows for
a delay before the scam is discovered.
According
to the Japanese newspaper, Yomiuri Shimbun, the fraudulent withdrawals took
place between 5am (JST) and 8am on May 15.

Cameroonian scammer arrested in Montreal (canada
The Sûreté du Québec announced Wednesday the arrest of an alleged fraudster specialist of a scenario called "Black money scam", in which victims are invited to participate in the cleaning of soiled banknotes, then are robbed during the operation. Cyrille Ngogang, 49 years old, was caught red-handed in downtown Montreal Tuesday afternoon. He appeared in court this morning to be charged with fraud and breach of commitment. The man is not in his first trouble with the law: he was previously arrested by the SQ on 19 January for charges related to the same scheme, and had been able to resume its freedom under strict conditions pending his trial. There are several variants of the 'Black money' scenario, but all involve a so-called batch of cash that has been stained with a dye or colouring substance. Scammers ask their victim to provide money to clean the hoard.
