Police say Fajardo, a cashier, is accused of using a skimming device to capture the credit card information of 50 customers at the store.  “She then sold that information to a third party who used it to create fraudulent credit cards and commit $181,800 in fraud,” according to Spokesman Kieran O’Leary. The fraud occurred between May and December 2011.

The skimming device used in the scam was seized at Fajardo’s Bronx home.
