Officials: Skimming Scheme Stole $600K+ From 500 in Md.

More than 500 Maryland residents were victims of an elaborate international scheme that involved thieves who gained access to their bank accounts through area ATMs, and while some of the culprits were arrested, 11 News I-Team reporter David Collins said there are ways for people to avoid similar schemes.

The international skimming scheme netted more than $600,000 for the suspects, who are all from Bulgaria, and they got away with it for more than a year, Collins reported.
U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein said he considers the case a fairly sophisticated crime.
