Some Citibank customers complained about strange puchases made on their credit cards. Metrocards. Gift cards at Bloomingdale's and McDonald's. Movie tickets. So Citibank reported the incident to the Manhattan DA's office, and then an investigation revealed a commonality: All customers had dined at Les Halles Downtown - and their server was Dennis Szyller. The NY Post reports that Szyller used a skimming device to copy information from his diners' credit cards and later ran up over $12,000 in charges. And that's not all - when he was arrested, the police found 22 bags of cocaine in his apartment AND it turns out he had attacked a man in Chelsea in July. As for the customers, we bet they are using cash when the credit card leaves their sight.
Look at Your Credit Card Statement Carefully!

im sorry but i dont quite understand the last sentence.
"As for the customers, we bet they are using cash when the credit card leaves their sight."
I guess the waiter takes their credit card to ring it up, then it "leaves their sight." At this point, "the customers" begin "using cash." But why, and how?
it really makes no sense. you fucked up yet again, chung.
FYI: she be referring to johnny Cash.
lost me on that last sentence
I think it is supposed to mean "We bet they will be using cash from now on in situations where the credit card would leave their sight."
Actually - I'd guess they still don't worry. Most cards refund fraudulent charges, and in this case they actually caught the asshole who did it. Nice!
(One of my cards was somehow "cloned" and used at a Best Buy store on LI. I was informed before I ever got a statement, and was never liable. I wish I knew how it happened, though.)
funny - 3 years ago i used my card at les halles downtown, and the next day Citi early fraud protection locked my card "for my protection" - it was the only place i had used my card in the last 5 days.
there's always a paper trail... in some cases there always a gun trail...
