Cops crack down on credit card fraud

ATMs and bank outlets at Expo Garden to be monitored closely

SHANGHAI - Police in Shanghai on Monday vowed to crack down on credit card fraud by foreigners as statistics revealed that large-scale international fairs like the Expo tend to attract card scammers to the host city.

Police arrested six foreigners last week withdrawing a total of 190,000 yuan ($27,800) from the city's ATMs using phony cards.
