What do you name a company that specializes in making fraudulent documents and ripping off immigrants? Try Universal Service Dedicated to God, Inc. Or so say prosecutors. Yes forging documents that claim the holder has membership in a Native American tribe to elude deportation is certainly God’s work. Audie Watson of Tamarac, Nancy Vertus of , Laura Reyes of Lake Worth, and her husband Anibol Reyes, both of Port St. Lucie, were arrested by federal officers early this morning after authorities uncovered the scheme they had been running since August, 2005. The company charged illegal immigrants $1, 500 per person, or $2,000 per couple for fraudulent documents that claimed they were part of the Pembina Nation Little Shell Tribe. Membership in a Native American Tribe would allow them to continue to live and work in the United States. The four are charged with conspiracy to commit immigration fraud, mail fraud, and forging false immigration documents. The most serious of the charges, mail fraud, could put them behind bars for up to 20 years. -- Kyle Munzenrieder ... Source: www.eadt.co.uk --- 30 days ago

In the last few days, I've entered a whole new web world. It's a place where people speak of getting "dumps... sniffed from ATMs" or using "blinds to cash out" or getting data through "rj 45 taps." The language belongs to a criminal community - the people who make a living out of credit card fraud. They gather to swap tips and appeal for information on a number of web forums, and the one we've been looking at features some quite astonishingly brazen messages. The one which really caught our attention was about an attempt to use thousands of stolen US credit card details in British supermarkets. You can read the whole of it here . The discussion on the crooks' forum is a bit of a wake-up call for all those who think that the introduction of chip-and-pin in the UK has wiped out card fraud. It has certainly made it harder - but the fact that the United States has yet to adopt the system gives the crooks a big opportunity in a crime which the internet has helped turn into a globalised business. So, as in this case, British Fraudsters can buy stolen credit card details from the US and use them here because retailers still have to allow the "swipe and sign" option for overseas cards without a chip. Equally, card details stolen from UK consumers can be sold overseas for use in countries without chip-and-pin. The author of the message appealing for information on where to use his cards - and offering "a ps3, 10 bottle of vodka or jd for ...
