Mido Victim Of Credit Card Fraud

An English fraudster by the name of Daryl Louise Harrison, 21, somehow got her hands on the credit card details of Egyptian-born West Ham United Striker, Ahmed Hossam or more popularly known as Mido, 26,

She treated six friends to a vacation to Dubai that cost £8000. In addition, she also bought a laptop for £2000, paid £5800 for dental treatment and £9000 to travel outside the country. All in, Harrison spent £46000. According to news report, she is now in custody pending verdict.

I find it pretty dumb of people to think that they could get away with credit card fraud or any fraud for that matter. Credit card especially, will leave a trail that could easily be investigated and unearthed. But I don't know, I guess the lure of free money is just too great a temptation.

I think that the laws for white collar crime should be stricter so as to serve a warning to everyone that crime doesn’t pay and the long arm of the law will get us eventually.
