Criminals have come up with a new fraud （欺詐） targeting the chip and PIN cards used by shop and petrol station customers across the country. They are stealing card-reading machines, taking them apart and installing （安裝） devices which record card numbers and PIN’s, before returning them to the store. The installed devices are so hi-tech that they can transmit customers’ card details to a mobile phone. Cards are then cloned and used abroad in countries including the United States, Italy and Australia where cash machines do not have to read the unique microchip in British cards.

    Police have issued a warning about the fraud after arresting two men at a card-faking factory in Birmingham. A search of a house found stolen chip and PIN terminals, card account numbers, card readers and fake magnetic stripe cards.

 The criminals targeted shops by forcing staff to give them the card machines or getting a job there themselves. In some cases, they posed as engineers and took the machine away for an “upgrade.”

    Card fraud abroad has increased by 77 percent— and cost ￡207.6 million—in the past year. While fraudsters used to put pinhole cameras above the chip and PIN device to get hold of the number, they now use the chip and PIN terminal to get that basic data．They are getting hold of the PIN from inside the reader. Police said the Birmingham factory had stolen card machines from 30 shops, supermarkets and petrol stations across the country. These arrests are a significant development in the fight against the organized criminal gangs responsible for this type of fraud．
