Police arrested a Bulgarian who was using cloned automated teller machine (ATM) cards to wí†hdráw money in Pampanga.
According to a report on GMA News’ “Balitanghali” on Monday, Bulgarian national Ivaylo Sashov Galabov was said to have several cloned ATM cards, and more than P60,000 in cash when he was arrested in San Fernando.
“Dito nila ginagawa ‘yung pag-harvest na tinatawag. Dito sila nagwi-wí†hdráw since daw madaling makakuha ng pera dito,” Philippine National Police Pampanga Director Senior Superintendent Joel Consulta said in the report.
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas defines skimming as îllégâl copying of information from the magnetic strip of the card. Scammers use the stolen information for online transactions or to manufacture counterfeit cards.
Galabov, who is facing charges of violating the Access Devices Regulation Act and the Cybercrime Prevention Act, declined to comment on the matter. — Jon Viktor Cabuenas/VDS, GMA News
