“Goodram had the card number and expiry date written on his hand and used them to buy £90 of shopping at a Londis store on Clapham High Street and £71 of goods, including five scratch cards, at a Waitrose store on Clapham Common.”
How the hell do you buy stuff in a shop with card details written on the back of your hand?
Staff in the shop may have been complicit – inputting card details manually ?
If there was justice in this world that £4M should go to the person whose name is on the card.
And they would’ve got away with it if they just had a bank account.
what did these idiots think? they would roll up for £4m in cash?
I almost felt bad for them for a second. But I guess the moral of the story is don’t steal other people’s bank details and spend other people’s money lol. Surely this will be a huge wake-up call to the pair. If they’d bought those scratchers with their own money they’d be millionaires.
Someone rightly pointed out in another article that this fraud means the next person to *legitimately* purchase one of these cards in the same shop has now lost out on a life-changing sum of money. £4m invested carefully for income will see just about anyone set for life.
Of course, the iffy scratchcard is null and void so nobody can ever buy it and the prize will never be paid.
