- Summary:
-
Credit card skimming is generally considered to be the process by which legitimate credit card data is illicitly captured or copied, usually by electronic means. A range of activities can constitute, or are closely related to, credit card skimming. Credit card skimming has recently emerged as a significant law enforcement challenge for Australia. The availability of sophisticated 'skimming' devices and increasingly widespread use of electronic, telephone and Internet banking have contributed to the growing incidence of credit and debit card fraud. At the Standing Commiittee of Attorneys-General (SCAG) meeting in April 2003, SCAG tasked the Model Criminal Code Officers Committee (MCCOC) with developing model credit card skimming offences. This final report deals with new offences to address credit card skimming and includes a model credit card skimming offence. While MCCOC has prepared a model offence which specifically deals with credit card skimming, this final report also considers the alternative option of criminalising credit card skimming as part of broader provisions on the topic of identity theft.
