Ah, yup, here we go. Straight from the horse's mouth:
"Since August 2024, our Organized Retail Crime Unit (NARC – Narcotics And Retail Crime Division) has been on the front lines, tackling a sophisticated “Tap 2 Pay” fraud scheme. This week, detectives apprehended more suspects involved in this nationwide operation, bringing the total to 11 Chinese nationals arrested while committing this scheme!"
But fail on them, too, because they also didn't explain (or understand) the scam.
