Man nabbed trying to use fake card

JAKARTA: Police arrested a man, identified as Jatmiko, for
attempting to use a fake credit card to purchase a bed at Mega
Glodok in Central Jakarta, Antara reported.

"The suspect attempted to buy a Romance spring bed priced at
Rp 2.4 million (about US$245), plus delivery charge of Rp
125,000, using a fake Citibank credit card," Adj. Sr. Comr. Aris
Munandar, head of the fiscal, monetary and foreign exchange unit
at the Jakarta Police, said on Tuesday.

He said the cashier became suspicious when Jatmiko grew
visibly nervous after handing over the credit card to finalize
the transaction.

During questioning, Jatmiko said he got the fake card from a
man on Jl. Pecenongan in Central Jakarta.

Jatmiko also admitted to using the fake credit card for about
Rp 12.7 million in transactions, including a ship ticket to
Ternate in North Maluku, and transactions at Super Kitchen
restaurant in North Jakarta, Plaza Semanggi in South Jakarta and
MSM Metropolis Town Square in Tangerang. --JP
