Four Eastern Europeans charged in $1.8 million ATM scam

• 12 May 2009

Syracuse.com: Four men who were living in Florida allegedly made trips to Cicero, Rochester and New York City to install skimming devices on ATMs. The men targeted the drive-up ATM of a Chase bank while visiting Central New York to see an acquaintance. Chase employees discovered the skimming device and notified the Secret Service. Since the investigation began, police determined that the suspects were at the Cicero bank on at least five occasions in November, stealing about $40,000 from customers. The total amount they scammed was $1.8 million, and most of it was wired to Eastern Europe.
