PIN-number thieves infiltrate debit-card reader at Lunardi's
At least 25 people have had their debit card and personal identification numbers stolen while shopping at Lunardi's Supermarket in Los Gatos, police said Tuesday.
"What we have here is more than one person - they've been able to get in there (Lunardi's) and switch out the ATM card reader," said Los Gatos-Monte Sereno police Sgt. Tam McCarty. "Once they've done that they can read the card and PIN numbers and either make a temporary card or sell the numbers over the phone."
McCarty said the thieves used the debit card information to withdraw money from the victims' bank accounts. Most of the money was withdrawn from ATM machines in Southern California, he said.
JUST ONE MORE REASON TO HATE GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE!
