NEWS Four men and a woman have been sentenced to a total of over eight years in jail for fraudulently attempting to obtain credit cards over the internet. The five used the websites of Cahoot, Egg, Marbles, MBNA, Smile, and the Sony Card to obtain over 25 cards with false names, running up bills of more than £100,000. The National Crime Squad began to investigate the case in Spring 2000, and made the arrests in August of the same year, in a swoop codenamed Operation Skoda. Jonathan Ellis (aged 28), Christian Palmer (28), Lisa Ramsey (23), William Ross (37), and Richard Henderson (25) were sentenced at Aylesbury Crown Court.
