HOUSTON–Credit unions across the country have been hit by skimming attacks, but none have taken a loss like the hit from a skimming attack on JPMorgan Chase here, which has seen an approximate $1 million loss.

According to prosecutors and FOX 26, two men from Houston have admitted to being part of a scheme to steal new credit cards and bank statements in the mail.

At least 120 credit cards were stolen in the scheme, with the criminals activating the cards, increasing credit limits and altering account information, the report states.

Last week, Bradley Kane Zarco, 39, and Travis Castaneda Qawasmeh, 28, pleaded guilty to using the cards to buy retail items, gift cards and withdraw cash over the course of six months, FOX 26 said.

About Other Defendants

Three other defendants – 43 year-old Christopher McGee, 37 year-old Daniel Sanchez and 64 year-old Omokehinde Muyiwa Oyegoke-Tewogbade have also pleaded guilty in the case.

Sanchez was sentenced to 41 months in prison in February, and the other men face up to five years for conspiracy, with Christopher McGee also facing an additional mandatory two-year term for aggravated identity theft, the report said.
