 The six illegal immigrants are now facing federal charges accused of a vast scheme to defraud Americans by installing the devices on bank ATMs and at retail store checkout units, all in an effort to obtain victims' credit card details to make purchases and even create new fake credit cards used to withdraw cash from victims' bank accounts. Federal prosecutors say the skimming devices were installed at a single major retailer in 22 separate locations across Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York.
