MP3 Player Steals £200,000 From Cash Machines

I know that we shouldn’t applaud criminals, but you have to admire the ingenuity of some criminals:
A Manchester man has been convicted of fraud after he used an MP3 player to download bank card details from a cash machine.
Maxwell Parsons, 41, plugged the unspecified player in to the back of free-standing machines and then recorded information as it was sent over phone lines to the bank. He then used the copied date to produce cloned cards.
Parsons is thought to have made about £14,000, while the remainder of the £200,000 that was stolen was shared among accomplices. before being caught. Amazing.
