Ah, he looks Hindu…though I’m sure they spoke Hindi.

Saw this last note didn’t read up until now. Wasn’t expecting a foreigner.

"Somehow", I think this isn't her first time.

Why is this guy in our country?

Jail him for a few years and the dump him back into whatever toilet of a country he came from.

The old Bank Examiner con. Yug must not have been very bright, unless it was a really big bag of chocolate coins, since $700K in gold would have weighed around ten pounds avoirdupois.

Mostly. That’s why they are here.

As I read on some site last night, they grow up in countries where evading government controls is a way of life, so when they come to the USA it is so easy for them they are in Nirvana............

“ The one person charged, 20-year-old Yug B. Chauhan, has a home address in Elmhurst, Illinois.”

Ah yes. An old line Elmhurst family. Been there for generations.

There’s a fella on YouTube. His page is something like “The Rosen report” he is always showing new scams and how they are getting folks. Like one was on gas pump skimmers (which got me twice- cleaned my account out) I didn’t know how they were getting my account number and pin 5ill I ran across an article on skimmers. Hackers can install skimmers in seconds while clerks are distracted too in stores.

Anyway, it’s shocking how many scams there are- he does a good job alerting the public to new emerging scams too.

“Hackers can install skimmers in seconds while clerks are distracted too in stores.”

Unless the clerk IS the hacker or his cousin............

Very well could be. One video though showed two men dressed as some kind of state workers, ie safety vests, hard hat etc, go into store, one distracted the clerk to the back of store while the other placed a skimmer keypad on machine. The video was wild. It showed customers who knew about the skimmers ripping off the fake keypads right in front of the clerks.

They have them now though where the device goes in the machine, so they can be detected very well, and are easier to install. The scammers are getting too sophisticated.

No, but you won’t go wrong treating them as if they are, until proven otherwise.
