funny storie for the day

[tsoob]

Today we had a fraudster try to buy some stock off us using a fake finance deal, he used a stolen drivers licence and asked us to order in some coilovers and wheels. He turned up to pick up his stuff and a repo man blocked his car in. the dude gapped it real quick and his car was towed away by the repo guy, real out of it he is real close to going to jail according to the repo man, he legged it so fast when he thought the cops were on the way kinda funny.

I have so many questions I don't know where to start!

How did the repo man know where to turn up? Alert on the credit history being checked?
What do you mean by fake finance deal? He came in with one, got one set up using the stolen ID?
Stolen drivers license- did it look like him? How did he get away with using it in the first place? Was it deliberate to get him to come back?

Always been interested in fraud and how it works...

repo man had been following him for months, he didn't fill out the id section so when matt called him he just gave us the numbers, we didint twig then and the card was approved but the repo guy saw him driving so he turned around and followed him, he was on the way to our shop!!! so its just lucky for us he saw him.

Or in this case - how it didn't work.

Friend of a friend was a repo guy, always had lots of flash electronics kicking around the office. Either that or he was just a thief, never could work that out..

[GTCRSHR]

sounds like you guys were lucky,

funny how the police cant catch criminals, but the finance companies repo man can

[Bling]

he didn't fill out the id section so when matt called him he just gave us the numbers

so did you learn a lesson from all of this?

[Al]

but the finance companies repo man can

When its your own money its clearly treated differently.

lol i couldnt dis-agree more. 50k worth of fraud is not an easy crime to commit not when you have morals ,a conscience, and no the difference between right and wrong. if you don't have those then sure. but if you dont have those things you should be allowed in the general public.

sorry if that offends but its my opionion. and i have strong opinions about those kinda things.

so true, don't know how people can think they have a right to take what others have worked hard for.

Just make sure you check the Type code on the licence when checking people for finance.

[Omegah]

was it that large guy in the shop talking to you? he can't have run far....

whats that do/show?

[Truenotch]

It's a number that gets issued to each card that you get. If you cancel / loose / get stolen or replace a licence card it gets changed. Number 5b on your card.

One of the team at the old mans work caught someone the other week.... But they had already had finance approved / completed from several places. All on the other persons credit rating. It's really the business' own fault if they don't check it and money ends up going to someone it shouldn't have.

How does that work? My 5b number is 900 odd . Always wondered what it stands for.

[Truenotch]

Just a random number generator I think .... that way it would be impossible to guess if you had someones old licence, and then they will not get approved of credit under someone else's name.

[Boosted_162]

Makes sense. I guessed i shouldnt post up my real number and thats why

Not from canterbury area is he?

I had a guy rip me off, and when we wnet to the cops they wouldn't even look into him. If they had they would have seen that he was on parole for fraud charges, and under investigation again.
in the end when we did go to court never got anything back as we were just a little bit of the $50K he had conned out of people in the 3 months on parole.

the large guy was the repo man it was the other smaller guy with the not so hot chick they looked dodgy together but when he came by his seld he wasjust like any other dude, preoffesional con artist.

[Omegah]

haha i saw that chick and felt sick
