The Judiciary Police (PJ) informed yesterday that over the weekend (June 25-27), they received another six complaints regarding the unlawful use of credit cards by third parties. The incidence of this type of crime has grown significantly over the past year, especially in the last few months, with new cases reported almost every day.

In these latest six cases, the PJ says that the victims have reportedly had transactions totaling 60,000 patacas, with the transactions ranging in between 2,000 to 21,000 patacas, fraudulently charged to their cards.
