The alleged mastermind behind the multi-million dollar electronic scam which has been targeting some of the island's financial institutions, was remanded on Thursday when he appeared before the St. Andrew Parish Court.
Andre Beckford, 23, was remanded until October 14. Two other persons - Kelisha Simmonds and Clyde McDonald - who are charged jointly with him were also remanded.
Mr. Beckford and his co-accused were arrested last week during a major crack down by C-TOC into scamming activities affecting the local banking sector.
It is alleged that Mr. Beckford and members of his network have been targeting customers' accounts at financial institutions in the corporate area and other parishes.
The cops say members of the criminal network hacked into accounts after banking information was leaked to them.
They then created bank accounts in the names of persons recruited to carry out the scam, the money was transferred to those accounts and the cash withdrawn.
Several companies and individuals have been hit by the scammers.
