Charged for running a scam...!

A 16-year-old has been charged in New Zealand with running an online scam and defrauding people of some $50,000. The teenager, who has a long criminal history, has been sent to a secure facility while awaiting trial, where he could face a five-year jail sentence.

It is believed he learned his computer skills while attending a special training course, which the police sent him on in the belief that it would help his personal development. He then used his parents’ computer to post spyware on a message board, infiltrating his victims’ computers and stealing personal data. He then used these details to milk people’s bank accounts for money, stealing a total of about $50,000, while the largest single theft was of $6,323. Even though only $15,000 has been recovered so far, all the affected banks in New Zealand have agreed to pay back the money to their customers.
