(Business in Cameroon) - At 32 years old, a young Cameroonian named Rhodri Bongam was arrested last week in Dickson County, Tennessee, with several fraudulent credit cards and tens of pizza cards in his possession. The officers who arrested him also discovered in his “incorrectly licensed” vehicle, highly valuable objects.
“When you do not use your own money, you can purchase these kinds of things”, commented one of the officers when they discovered in the vehicle used by the suspect, a bag holding, among other objects, a Versace watch, luxury frames and a Louis Vuitton branded pair of trainers.
The US Police officers also discovered that this Cameroonian living in Washington DC stayed at the Hilton and settled his hotel bill with credit cards.
Before using stolen financial data which he uploaded to pizza gift cards, cards which are more difficult to cancel compared to Visa or MasterCard cards, the young Cameroonian was jailed. He will have to post a bail of USD 92,000 (over FCfa 50 million) if he wants to be released during his court appearance.
