SF Restaurateur Gets Prison Time for Credit Card Scam

The owner of a shuttered Chinese restaurant who charged customers’ credit cards over and over after his business closed is going to prison. We reported way back in 2007 that Phau Lam, who once owned the Home Menu restaurant on the SoMa/Mission border, had been arrested for the fraud. ABC 7 reported today that Lam was sentenced to three years, eight months in state prison after pleading guilty to 32 felony counts, “including grand theft, forgery and identity theft.” He also has to pay back $28,000 to the credit card companies.
