Bulgarian man arrested with over 30 fake ATM cards
A Bulgarian man was arrested by police on charges of possessing and using fake electronic cards to cash money estimated at 40 million baht from automatic telling machines in Bangkok’s commercial districts.
The suspect, 47-year old Davos Hamid Alginabi from Bulgaria, was caught by police at an ATM of Siam Commercial Bank in Soi Petchaburi 10, Rajthevi district, on Monday as he was trying to cash money with a fake electronic card.
The suspect later led police to his apartment room in Sukhumvit Soi 13 where altogether 32 fake ATM cards, 4,000 Euro dollars and 5,000 baht in Thai currency were found.
Police said that the suspect claimed he received the fake electronic cards from a foreigner in Silom area and he used them to cash money from ATMs located along the skytrain route for more than ten times since he arrived in Thailand last October.
Police said that most of the electronic information came from France.
