Two Nigerians including a priest have been nabbed in far away India for alleged ATM cloning fraud.
According to HindustanTimes, a Nigerian man who earlier served as a
priest at a church in Greater Noida has been arrested, along with his
“assistant”, also from Nigeria, for cloning dozens of plastic cards by
fixing skimming devices and secret cameras in ATMs in Delhi.
The two were arrested after a brief chase near D1 Market in south
Delhi’s Vasant Kunj on Friday. They had with them 37 cards that had
already been cloned, 10 blank cards, and a host of devices used in the
fraud, said Devender Arya, deputy commissioner of police (south-west).
The police, however, are yet to determine the scale of their alleged fraud.
Arya identified the arrested men as Oluwatoyin Isaiah, 46, and his
assistant Nosa Tony — a 43-year-old man who would allegedly be given 2%
of all proceeds from the crime.
“Isaiah was living on an expired visa after arriving in Delhi in 2012 on
a medical visa. We recovered two passports from him. They have
different names and numbers, but both have Isaiah’s photo,” Arya said.
The officer said that having overstayed his visit, Isaiah had tried his
hand in the hair export business, apart from his two-year-long stint at
the Greater Noida church, before coming into contact with a Bulgarian
man, Eris, at Delhi airport last year.
“Eris taught Isaiah how to clone cards. They purchased a skimming device
from an e-commerce site and procured the other devices a variety of
sources,” Arya said.
Eris and Isaiah would allegedly fix the skimming devices and spy cameras
in unguarded ATMs in Delhi-NCR. They would copy the data from a card
onto the skimming device, and Isaiah would allegedly transplant this
data on to a blank card. The spy cameras helped Isaiah know the PINs of
these cards, the police said.
Isaiah sought Tony’s help for the second step, which the police said
wasn’t as risky as the first. The latter has been living in Gurugram
since last year on a business visa.
Once they had everything, all they needed to do was either withdraw cash
discreetly from ATMs or spend the money in the cards for online
purchases.
The two were arrested after the south-west district police was tipped
off about their whereabouts. Eris remains on the run, said the police.
“They were headed to an ATM to commit a crime. Most of the items we recovered from them was found in a bag they were carrying,” the DCP said
