http://www.nbc11.com/news/17066606/detail.html Police: Man Behind South Bay Lunardi's ATM Scam Nabbed Police arrested a man Friday they said was involved with an ATM scam at a Los Gatos supermarket that lost about $300,000. After a four-month investigation, the Los Gatos Monte/Sereno Police Department arrested Raymond Kurt Fisher, 37, at his San Jose home Thursday, police said. Fischer worked in the Lunardi's meat department, and he was working there until Thursday, NBC11 reported. Between March and April, 14, 2008, 250 Lunardi's shoppers found fraudulent charges or cash withdrawals with a grand total of about $300,000 from their bank accounts, police said. The majority of the withdrawals were made in Southern California, police said. Fisher was booked into the Santa Clara County Jail in connection with burglary, conspiracy, drunken driving, and further charges may be filed later, according to the district attorney's office. The investigation is ongoing, and police said they are not ruling out further arrests. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Dataloss] Fake Card reader results in ID theft in Los Gatos Ca.

Police received the first reports from victims who said their credit or debit cards had been used fraudulently on Sunday night and additional victim reports continued on Monday and today, according to police spokesman Tam McCarty. "They started pouring in," McCarty said. Police believe the victims all had their card numbers stolen at the Los Gatos Lunardi's, 720 Blossom Hill Road, after officials from Lunardi's contacted them about a problem with one of their card readers. "It was a switched card reader at one of the aisles," McCarty said. Recent shoppers of the Los Gatos Lunardi's should check the status of their bank or credit card accounts for charges they did not make, according to police. "Specifically look for charges in the Southern California area,Pasadena, Huntington; that's where most of them seem to be," McCarty said.
