Sophisticated skimming operation busted in Hernando County

Authorities arrested three men in Hernando County for their involvement in a sophisticated skimming operation that targeted consumers' financial data. The investigation started when U. S. Customs intercepted a shipment of illegal skimming devices bound for Yunior Juan Camacho. Following a search warrant executed at Camacho's residence, law enforcement seized 354 suspected counterfeit payment cards, 17 skimming devices, and over $47,000 in cash.

Camacho and his associates, Aliasay Medina Murguia and Danisbel Hernandez-Plasencia, face multiple felony charges, including trafficking in counterfeit goods and possession of skimming devices. Furthermore, agents discovered a Ford F-350 with concealed fuel tanks suspected of being used for diesel theft. The case reflects the coordinated efforts of state and federal agencies to combat sophisticated fraud networks. Commissioner of Agriculture Wilton Simpson commended the work of law enforcement in protecting Florida consumers. The operation serves as a warning about the ongoing threat of financial fraud and the importance of vigilance in safeguarding personal information.
