The documents were bought from a website by individual customers who then use them to steal large amounts of money or goods. Four men were jailed on Friday for their involvement in the scheme. Here's John McManus.
The operation, which was run from bases in Britain and Spain, had up to 11,000 clients who paid from between a hundred to thousands of dollars each to buy fictional documents and stolen identities. Police say some of the clients who used the site made more than a million dollars each. As well as the upfront cost, the organisers of the scheme demanded 50% of what they call "their client's first hits". They even offered an online web chat service to trusted users where they gave tips and instructions on how to maximise the potential to commit financial fraud. Detective Inspector Tim Dowdeswell who was in charge of the investigation said the service operated like an online shop.
"Customers would go online and decide what sort of documents they wanted to generate to commit fraud, and would then purchase those documents from very basic documents such as payslips or other similar documents, identity and up right, up to a full, complete identity, with addresses that products could be delivered to."
One of the website users, who has since been brought to justice, was a solicitor who use fake documents to open bank accounts which he then used to hide money stolen from his clients.英国警方称他们发现并关闭了一家“诈骗工厂”,这是一家非法经营的企业,出售工业相关的伪造文件和虚假身份。客户个人在网站上购买伪造文件,然后利用这些文件窃取大量金钱或商品。周五,四名男子因参与此事件而入狱。John McManus报道。
改诈骗工厂的总部设在英国和西班牙,拥有11000个客户。客户每人支付上百美元到几千美元不等,以购买伪造文件和盗用的身份。警方称有些客户利用此网站赚了一百多万美元。除了预付金,该诈骗工厂的组织者还要求客户支付“首次得手金额”的50%。他们甚至还为信任用户提供在线聊天服务,教给他们相关的技巧和说明,从而最大程度地发挥潜力,进行金融诈骗。警探Tim Dowdeswell负责调查此案,他说这种服务的运营方式类似在线商店。
“顾客可以上网决定他们想要哪种文件类型来进行诈骗,然后购买那些文件,有些是最基本的文件,例如工资单或其他类似文件、身份,也有些是完整的带有地址的身份,产品可以运送到那些地址。”
其中一位已经绳之以法的用户是个律师,他利用伪造文件开银行账户,藏匿他从客户那里偷走的钱。
