Trucking Scam

Trucking Fraud - A criminal network that cloned payment cards to steal "hundreds of thousands of euros" from trucking companies across France, including the Côte d’Azur, has been dismantled by Toulouse authorities. The group used electronic devices at truck fuel stations to copy bank details and transfer them onto blank cards, which were then used to refuel foreign trucks. Three suspects from Eastern Europe have been arrested and charged with organized fraud.
