Dear All,

I feel immense pleasure to inform all of you that with the collaboration of FIA Lahore we have successfully busted the gang who was involved in Debit Card Skimming Activities.

The main culprits in this scam are Muhammad Asif bearing CNIC Number 35201-3814830-3, Ashfaq Arif bearing CNIC 35202-4532072-5 and Javed Iqbal.

Allied Bank’s Fraud Risk Management Unit received a few complaints in which complainant informed us that some sales staff named as Muhammad Kashif

(fake name while actual name is Muhammad Asif) visited them in disguise of Sales Executive of MCB Credit Card and offered them MCB Credit Card.

After getting complete information of the complainants the so-called Sales Executive asked the customers to provide their ATM Debit Card details as these

details would help them to get higher limits and smooth processing for the MCB Credit Card. Our customers provided him all the details and showed him their

Debit Cards which the culprit took in his hands and craftily extracted all the data on the magnetic stripe of the card with the help of a small skimming device.

He returned the debit cards to the complainants and later produced the skimmed cards. The snap of the skimmer device which the culprit used for this scam is

attached for your reference. The same modus operandi used by the culprit to trap several of our customers.

After working on the case, Allied Bank FRMU showed some snaps of the culprit to the complainants in which all the complainant identified Muhammad Asif and

confirmed us that Muhammad Asif visit them and introduce himself as Muhammad Kashif, a Sales Executive of MCB.

After identification of the main culprit Muhammad Asif, we started shadowing (chasing) him with the help of FIA. Our informer informed us that Muhammad Asif is

going to play a cricket match in Lawrence Garden Cricket Ground Lahore with his partner (ex-colleague) Ashfaq Arif who was earlier brought into our investigation

in the same case. ABL FRMU team along with FIA reached at cricket ground and arrested the culprits on their way home after the match.

The second culprit Ashfaq Arif was pointed out by our Sales staff named Faisal Ali who is currently working in our Credit Card Sales department on 3rd party

contract as Personal Financial Consultant in Lahore. During investigation Faisal Ali informed us that Ashfaq Arif is his friend and he requested him to give some

Credit Card leads as he got the job in MCB and have to meet the sales target; to help out his friend Faisal Ali shared his customer’s list with him.

During investigation with the culprit he gave us a detailed written statement in which he admitted his crime and provided us all the details of this scam which he

was doing with the help of his partner Ashfaq Arif and his brother-in-law Javed Iqbal, Ex-Sales staff of Citibank.

Muhammad Asif told that the skimming device and important data is in the custody of his partner Ashfaq Arif, which FIA recovered from his house.

Following items were recovered by FIA from the culprits Muhammad Asif and Ashfaq Arif.

1. Skimming device.

2. One skimmed NIB ATM debit card recovered from the culprit Muhammad Asif on which embossed

name is Asif Younas Masih whereas the data stored in the magnetic strip is of Muhammad Ameen who is

already a complainant of the same scam.

Britain to scrap unpopular ID card program? By Agence France-Presse

http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0527/britian-to-scrap-id-card-program/

LONDON – The new coalition government is to scrap a national identity card scheme introduced by former prime minister Gordon Brown’s administration, it announced Thursday. The scheme will be abolished within 100 days under legislation presented by Home Secretary Theresa May, the first bill to be introduced to parliament by Prime Minister David Cameron’s government. The move, which will invalidate cards that have already been issued on a voluntary basis, should save 86 million pounds over the next four years. The scheme was in the process of being introduced when the new government took power this month. People who paid 30 pounds each for the card will no longer be able to use them to prove their identity or travel in Europe. The expected new legislation “is the first step of many that this government is taking to reduce the control of the state over decent, law-abiding people and hand power back to them,” said May.

“With swift parliamentary approval, we aim to consign identity cards and the intrusive ID card scheme to history within 100 days,” she said.

Cameron’s Conservatives, who forged a coalition with the Liberal Democrats after the general election left no single party with an absolute majority, had always said they would scrap ID cards. Brown’s Labour government had pushed through the scheme, arguing that they were a key aid for police in tackling crime and other threats, despite criticism from the opposition and lobby groups. Civil rights group Liberty welcomed the move. “Liberty thanks the government for the bonfire of the ID cards and the junking of the National Identity Register,” said its chief Shami Chakrabarti. “We have spent many years arguing that this grand folly would cost our freedom, privacy and race relations dearly and the public agreed.” Liberty had argued the cards could have become an “internal passport” for immigrants. “We hope that scrapping ID cards for foreign nationals will soon follow,” she added.

Hi Fellow CSP ’10 Aspirants,

Those who are still waiting for admit cards/hall tickets, no need to worry on this matter, by the end of this week UPSC is going to upload “Venue Information” details, where you can give your form number and get the details like Roll No, Venue, etc. take the print of that and you can go ahead and write CSP ’10, so leave all worries and just concentrate on preparation, don’t spoil your minds with unnecessary thinking…..
