Are bank/credit scams the new CRACK game?

My boy was trying to figure out how do this for 3 years, couldn't make a dime, gave up and actually started selling crack. :lol:

But yeah, this is all over DC, wayyy too many yungins in Panameras. Hood, burbs, college students, doesn't matter, it's everywhere.

We'll see where everybody is at 10 yrs from now.

Oh and when the iPhone 6 drops and everybody and their momma starts making payments with their phone, this **** is going to blow up to epic proportions.

Juan de los Santos got a threatening call last month at his small auto repair shop in the Bronx.

The man on the other end of the call said he was from Con Edison’s billing department, and the caller ID on the phone appeared to verify that.

“We’re going to cut off your electricity in 30 minutes unless you pay your overdue $1,500 bill right now,” the man said in Spanish.

“But I have a payment agreement with Con Ed and I already mailed you two checks,” de los Santos protested.

The company was no longer accepting his checks, responded the man, who seemed to know all about the payment agreement and the exact amount de los Santos owed.

He told de los Santos to rush out and buy enough Green Dot MoneyPaks at a nearby Rite Aid to pay the whole bill, then give him the serial numbers from those cards.

The caller even put a female “supervisor” on the line to confirm this. She granted a reprieve to de los Santos until the next morning.

An immigrant from the Dominican Republic who speaks little English, de los Santos did exactly what the callers demanded. He purchased three $500 Green Dot MoneyPaks and phoned in the serial numbers to them.

Green Dot MoneyPaks have grown in popularity within low-income communities.

Green Dot MoneyPaks have grown in popularity within low-income communities.
It turned out to be a scam.

Use of these MoneyPaks has exploded in low-income communities. They’re used to transfer cash into prepaid debit cards or to directly pay the bills of certain participating companies.

But crooks love them because the money can’t be traced — and it was the crooks de los Santos ended up paying. Sadly, he became another victim in the epidemic of phone scams that has mushroomed across the country in recent years.

Con Edison, which does not accept payment from such cards, is receiving more than a dozen calls a week about Green Dot scams, company spokesman Allan Drury acknowledged.

Nationwide, some 257,000 people have complained to the Federal Trade Commission, with losses totaling $223 million through similar scams in the past two years.

The FTC told a Senate hearing in July that 25 million people — more than 10% of all U.S. adults — fell victim to phone or Internet fraud just in 2011.

“They’re targeting our most vulnerable communities, our elderly and our new immigrant communities,” Inspector James Klein of the NYPD’s crime prevention section said recently.

Consolidated Edison says the company receives over a dozen calls about Green Dot scams.

Consolidated Edison says the company receives over a dozen calls about Green Dot scams.
“The scammers are determined, relentless and imaginative and always trying to stay ahead of our efforts,” Con Ed’s Drury said. “Stopping them is a challenge.”

The Green Dot MoneyPak has become such a hotbed of fraud that the California company that created it plans to discontinue it — but not until early next year.

“Green Dot is committed to educate consumers about how to avoid becoming victims of financial fraud scams and has partnered with the Consumer Federation of America to help enhance these efforts,” company spokesman Brian Ruby said.

As for de los Santos, Con Edison doesn’t know how the scammers had so much knowledge about his account.

“We have conducted thorough in-house reviews and found no evidence that anyone at Con Edsion” was involved in “enabling Green Dot scams,” Drury said.

De los Santos still owes Con Ed about $700.

I remember about a year ago, I just randomly checked my bank account and some random transaction was someone using my acct to put money in someone's commissary up in Mass. Somewhere

And there was another for Delaware :lol: . It took me a while to get that back and it hurt because at that time I needed every last dime possible.
 
My boy copped yeezy 1s from HOH Harlem back in the day with the scam ****. I told him it wouldn't last but now look. 5 years later and hood dudes still prospering smh

Always remember that if somebody used your debit card by fraud, the bank can give you (i forgot the bank technical name of it ) but basically like a faith credit it is the law... They have to credit your money like within 24 hours of you disputing the charge, now if the dispute get reversed the bank will take the money back
 
i know Soooo many people that do this 

its sickening, and what do these dudes do buy fendi bathrobes and whips that they crash in a week

While still living in the projects.
 
People been doing bank scams since before most of us were born.

However with social media you realize how many everyday people do it really terrible how low some people will go. :smh:

Back in the day I remember getting messages on Myspace asking if I wanted to make some money. :lol:

they have to have help inside

they said the caller even knew of the payment arrangement he already had set up...
 
There is also card machines that anyone can buy online that can duplicate a card... Any magnetic card....So if a scammer have the credit card number/expiration date and cvv code then can use the machine to duplicate another card. They can even erase any bank card and rewrite
 
When the gift cards were popping the hood was flourishing, getting them for half on the dollar. Target and Walmart were getting killed during that time. Gas station cards too were great, dudes posted up by the pumps filling people cars for like $30

Gas stations around me dont even take cards anymore

I learned as I got older to use cash more often, not just for scams, but as a way to keep better tabs on my money and cut down and frivolous spending.

I live in Dubai and its crazy how little people use Credit/Debit Cards here. Culturally people are very distru****l of the whole banking system, so many people keep crazy amounts of cash/gold in safes and what not instead of banks. Everyone has a bank account, but most rather pay cash for everything.

Back then I think the cards were already preloaded with the money on it, so people were just stealing them.. Now you have to take it to the registar and add the money on it when get it
