New York city police on Friday announced the busting of what was described as “the biggest ID scam in American history” after arresting 111 people including Guyanese who allegedly made bogus credit cards as part of
a Queens-based scam that cost consumers, banks
and retailers a whopping US$13 million.
The New York Post reported that the alleged scammers — members of five organized forged credit card and identity theft rings — had ties to Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
