3 NY men made bogus credit cards
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say three men have been charged with identity fraud and making bogus credit cards in a scheme that netted about $300,000.
Federal prosecutors in Syracuse say the men were arrested after a raid on one of their homes turned up counterfeiting gear, a number of fake cards and gift cards bought using them throughout New York and other states in the Northeast.
Named in the indictment are 37-year-old Kareem Highsmith of Syracuse, 27-year-old Glenn Francis of Brooklyn, and 40-year-old Maurice Pugh of Syracuse. They’re facing identity theft and fraud charges.
