A trio of Southern California swindlers was arrested for allegedly perpetrating a tricky ATM scam that left their victims cashless and confused. The three Romanian-born suspects are accused of fooling unsuspecting ATM users by dropping money on the ground before switching their ATM cards with fakes when their victims bent over to pick up the bills. The men tricked at least a dozen people across Orange, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento counties, police said.
