Mumbai: Romanian national held by Oshiwara police for card cloning, 166 cards seized | Mumbai News

MUMBAI: A Romanian national was arrested by the Oshiwara police recently for cloning ATM cards of citizens and using the card details for misappropriating their money. Police seized 166 ATM cards besides equipment used for card cloning from him. A team from the Oshiwara police was patrolling when they spotted a foreign national moving about suspiciously in an ATM kiosk at Lokhandwala Complex, Andheri. When the cops quizzed him, he gave evasive responses. Officers then searched him and found nine ATM cards, none of which belonged to him. He was hauled to the Oshiwara police station and questioned. The Romanian, identified as Nedelaku Valentine Evonut, 38, told officers that he had been stealing data from ATM cards inserted by unsuspecting citizens at ATM kiosks. Out of the total 166 ATM cards found on him, 72 were cloned. In June 2021, Evonut allegedly misappropriated Rs 60000 belonging to a suburban woman after cloning her card and using it online. The woman was home when she received a text from her bank about money being debited from her bank account. She then lodged a police complaint. "We seized three laptops, card-swiping reader devices, two currency counting machines, four cellphones, eight USB-connected hidden cameras, memory cards, and card cloning equipment collectively valued at Rs 2.09 lakh from Evonut," said an official. In the past, Evonut has been booked at Dahisar, DN Nagar, Vinoba Bhave Nagar, Dombivali, MRA Marg, Bandra and Navghar police station in Mulund. Source link Read the full article
