Three scammers have been caught on security cameras at a Walmart branch stealing an unsuspecting victim’s credit card.
The video shows their flight, as they disoriented their victim, then took his credit card.
Video released by police in Arvada, Colorado, shows the suspects targeting a customer who was about to leave the store.

A man and woman first approach the customer, claiming to be using a vending machine.
Then the man took some money and pretended to find it at the customer’s feet, as if the latter had dropped it

Then the customer takes out his wallet to store the money. At that moment, the fraudster hands him a new ticket, which is also supposed to be on the ground.

However, the thief delivers the note to him by extending his arm into the victim’s wallet. While the banknote hides the wallet, the thief steals the customer’s credit card from it.

The maneuver is very fast. The woman who accompanies the thief is also careful to catch the eye of her victim, so that the latter can see nothing but fire.
In possession of the credit card, the fraudsters spent a staggering total of $1,994 (CAD 2,645) on the same Walmart police report.
The victim reported the fraudulent expenditure to his banking institution.
