35,000 card details snaffled

Theogenes De Montford, 29, of Blandford Way, Hayes has been sentenced to four and a half years for his role in one of the UK’s biggest chip and pin scams.
The gang put card cloning equipment on pin entry handsets at petrol stations around the country.
De Montford was caught with 35,000 card details when arrested.
An amazing 7,000 of these came from one garage – a Shell garage on Bluebell Hill in Maidstone, Kent.
A spokesman for Shell UK said the impact of all card fraud, not just this gang’s, resulted in a 25 per cent drop in its business. Actual losses worked out at £725,000 between January and September, PA reports.
Garages are a favoured target for card scammers – customers are typically in a hurry and trust the big multinational branding.
De Montford pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud and conspiracy to possess articles for use in the course of fraud.
Three other gang members got three and a half years each last week.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
