Jamie Lynn Roush, 30, of the 100 block of Johndora Road, remains in Cambria County Jail awaiting trial on seven counts each of identity theft, access device fraud, theft by unlawful taking, theft by deception and receiving stolen property.

She also was charged with one count each of intimidating a witness and false swearing. She obtained bank card numbers and customer names while working at Pizza Hut in Ebensburg. It is unknown what job duties Roush performed, or how long she had been employed there.

Police Chief Robert Fatula asked patrons to call township police if they had used a credit or bank card at the restaurant since May: 749-0051. We got such a good response, it was unbelievable," Fatula said. Fatula said about half of the people who called in were found to be victims. That's a lot of people and a lot of money," Fatula said.

He said Roush used the stolen account numbers to order cell phones and pay garbage, telephone, cable and other bills via the Internet. Fatula said she also used the cards to buy merchandise online. He said her computer was sent to the state police computer crime lab in Greensburg, but an examination has not been completed.

Fatula credited Officer Melanie Kline and an Atlantic Broadband employee with the work involved in the investigation that led to Roush's arrest. Janet L. Grochowina, administrative officer at Atlantic Broadband in Bradford, alerted police that several different credit cards were being used to pay Roush's bill.

Many different numbers were being used on one account," Fatula said. If it hadn't been for her, we wouldn't have found out about this." Grochowina could not immediately be reached at Atlantic Broadband for comment. Fatula said more thefts may be discovered after a state police report is received.

The move to expand cashless deployment in vending machines was driven by positive feedback from consumers, vending operators and soft drink bottlers, as well as increased sales at machines that accept contactless payments. MasterCard PayPass contactless payments provide consumers with the fast and convenient experience they seek when making purchases at vending machines," said Gerritt Kerkstra, Senior Vice President, Acquirer Relations, MasterCard Worldwide.

When not limited to the cash they have on hand, consumers are able to purchase what they want, resulting in higher sales."

Among those who have decided to add or further expand ePort cashless technology to their fleets of vending machines are Ace Vending, Canteen Vending Services, Continental Vending, Continental Services, Custom Foods, Evergreen Vending, Fantasy Entertainment, McLiff Vending, Mid-Atlantic Vending, Peachtree Vending, Proformance Vending, Sanese Vending and Coca-Cola Enterprises, who have equipped an additional 2,450 vending machines to accept credit and debit cards through the ePort services.

The ability to offer credit and debit card payment options to vending has had a big impact on business performance with vending machines equipped with the ePort. We are pleased to see our customers benefit from offering consumers the ease and convenience of using their credit and debit cards to make payments at vending machines," said Mr.

Jensen, "It is apparent from latest performance results that cashless payments are helping vending operators and bottlers provide a higher level of service and satisfaction, which in turn is driving greater revenue and improved profitability for them. These positive results have laid the foundation for increased adoption of credit debit in vending, and a corresponding increase in sales and demand for the ePort products and services."

To make a transaction at MasterCard PayPass ePort activated vending machines, consumers tap their PayPass-enabled payment card or device on the ePort terminal. The terminal flashes a light and displays a message to signal the completion of the transaction in seconds. Traditional magnetic stripe cards are also accepted.

The latest deployment of 4000 more cashless terminals reinforces that there exists a trend in the vending industry to convert to cashless transactions.
