Nottinghamshire Police have released CCTV footage of a man they want to question after a bank card was used fraudulently.
The man in the footage is expected to have known he was engaging in a fraudulent act, since the bank card he was using did not belong to him. The incident relates to two contactless transactions made on January 2, 2019. Credit card fraud is widespread in many parts of the Uk, and although the victims are often compensated for any loss, it can be a long wait, and the inconevnience alone can be mentally disturbing.
Individuals who engage in credit fraud are very foolish because it is easy to be caught. This man for example is using the card in a store that has CCTV cameras, so where are his brains? He must have none! Nottingham cops say two bank cards were stolen from a car parked on the driveway of a property in Redland Close, Chilwell, on January 2, 2019. Stealing a card is easy if the owner is either not present or is not paying attention, but the foolish part of it is the fact that it is so easy to be caught for using a stolen card. Having been a victim of credit card fraud, I know how annoying the experience can be. It can generate a high level of shock in the system.
The man has enjoyed his free use of the card, but now his picture has been circulated online and on other media sites, it is only a matter of time before he is caught and arrested. Many people know him , and he will soon pay the price for his free spending spree of a card that does not belong to him.
A police spokesman said; “We’d like to speak to this man in connection with the theft and fraudulent use of bank cards across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.
“This CCTV clip relates to two contactless transactions made on 2 January 2019. This followed the theft of bank cards from a car parked on the driveway of a property in Redland Close, Chilwell, on 2 January 2019.
“If you recognise the man in the clip or think you can help please call Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 192 of 3 January 2019, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111
