Published May 5, 2009 4:00am ET



Two M&S Grill waitresses are expected to plead guilty today to their roles in a credit card skimming scheme that ran up a $750,000 tab on cards stolen from diners at Washington-area high-end restaurants, their attorneys confirmed to The Examiner.

The two waitresses are accused of stealing credit card numbers and selling them to the scheme’s three ringleaders. According to court documents filed in Alexandria’s federal court, the ringleaders used the numbers provided by the two waitresses to spend $150,000 at stores like Gucci and Barney’s of New York.
