Digital camera scam takes new twist

Latest version can
trick credit card
anti-fraud systems

By Bob Sullivan

Aug. 14 -  The "digital camera" scam first reported by MSNBC.com 18
months ago has resurfaced and now involves an even more sophisticated
routine. It's a complicated scam, involving stolen credit cards and
an uncanny ability to trick online auction winners into "stealing"
merchandise. But the updated version indicates the scam artist likely
has access to a huge database of credit card numbers and has found a
way to outsmart credit card companies' anti-fraud measures.
