Shishan Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) Hi, My name is Robert and I used to be a confidence artist. I used to write personal check on my own overdrawn account, however this only worked for a limited time before the bank demanded payment. So what did I do? I moved on to opening other accounts at different banks, eventually creating new identities to sustain this charade. Over time trough experimentation, I developed different ways of defauding banks, such as printing out my own almost-pefect copies of check such as payroll checks, depositing them, and persuading banks to advance me cash on the basis of my account balances. Another trick I used was to print my account number on blank deposit slips and add the to the stack of real blank slips in the bank. This meant that the deposits written on those slips by bank customers entered my account rather than the accounts of the legitimate customers. I once noticed the locaton where the airlines and car rental businesses, such as United Airlines and Hertz, would drop off their daily collections of money in a zip-up bag and then deposit them into a drop box on the airport premises. Using a security guard disguise i bought at a local costume shop, I put a sign over the box saying "Out of Service, Place deposits with security guard on duty" and collected money that way. I still can't believe this idea actually worked, how can a drop box be out of service? Lmao Edited January 17, 2014 by Shishan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
