A man from San Miguel de Tucumán, accused of credit card fraud, has been remanded in custody. This was reported by the Argentine News Agency (NA). The decision for preventive detention was made by a judge of the Central District after considering a request filed by the Salta Provincial Prosecutor's Office for Cybercrime. According to the investigation, the man was arrested last month during large-scale operations carried out in the provinces of Salta and Tucumán. The investigation revealed a fraudulent scheme operated through a Telegram group called "Realeza saltena XX". In this group, scammers offered a "bill payment" service with a 50% discount. To do this, the "client" had to transfer the full amount of the bill to an account specified by the administrator and subsequently received proof that their bill was paid in full. In reality, the scammers used illegally obtained data from third parties' credit cards to pay the bills, keeping the money they received from their "clients".
