Three Iraqi brothers helped mastermind a £2million international credit card cloning scam . The trio were snared after Heathrow Airport security staff intercepted a laptop crammed with bank details belonging to more than 3,000 potential victims from the UK and Iceland. Police raided rented offices in north London where they discovered a ‘working factory’ including hundreds of blank cards and a device to put over cashpoints which copies card details. Mohammed, Ahmed and Mahmoud Charmaga, aged 30, 25 and 24 respectively, admitted the nine-month conspiracy.
