Three men who pleaded guilty to federal charges for their roles in a years-long card skimming scheme that took financial information from people using ATMs and gas pumps in San Diego and elsewhere were sentenced Wednesday to prison terms.
Prosecutors say the defendants used skimming devices to take card users' information, then used the stolen info to make unauthorized credit and debit cards.
The prosecution's sentencing papers allege the scheme took more than $1 million from"hundreds" of victims. Prosecutors say the brothers admitted to obtaining more than $642,000 in stolen money from 2017 to 2020, during which they structured their bank withdrawals in order to avoid drawing attention to their transactions. During the course of one month, the siblings withdrew $91,500 in cash from a single bank account, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
