Fraudsters bought their own gas stations and stole thousands of customers’ credit card details.

  1. In my old job I had a lot of dealings with Sri Lankans. There are numerous credit fraud cases involving Sri Lankans in petrol stations. By and large they are decent folk. Unfortunately the spineless socialists have made a rod for their own backs here. They should have shipped back all the bogus asylum seekers, which I would say includes all three here and probably the vast majority of Sri Lankans in Britain. They didn’t because they introduced laws that gave the shysters the tools to prevent it in the form of the Human Rights Act.

    The problem we have is that in Sri Lanka there are lots of Tamil Terrorists. Lhe LTTE or Tamil Tigers. These people are psychopathic vermin and they have access to the families of people who have asylum in the UK. They are ruthless and will exploit opportunities like this. I never bought petrol in an petrol station that had Sri Lankans working in them. Simply because of this. The same thing happens with Irish terrorists who are basically gangsters. they may not call themselves the IRA but they still extort money with threats which they can back up.

  2. Oh and I used to curse every time we had to enter a Sri Lankans details onto the computer. Why do they need such long unpronounceable names?

  3. hmmmmmmmmmm.....should we at least congratulate them for their forward looking sense of enterprise?  After all, they have fitted themselves rather neatly into a basic level of the information age and they certainly know how to deal with the limp wristed, neurotically designed British legal system.

  4. Good point Doc but something you may want to bear in mind. The Europeans and the UK use a system called “chip and pin” When you pay for something on the card you have to enter a pin. The card has an encrypted chip on it. It has cut a lot of fraud out. They are starting to introduce this in Canada too, but not in the US for some time. What I have noticed in the US and Canada is they routinely swipe the card and hand it back without checking the signature. It must be a fraudsters paradise. Though maybe you don’t have so many Nigerians in the US as we have in the UK? The chip and pin approach stuffs these people. Though the Sri Lankan gas station fraudsters got around this by placing cameras on top of the chip and pin machins or by connecting a second device in between the machine and the server. Cunning devils. You have to admire their ingenuity.
