A man walked into a bank confident he was about to walk out with thousands of dollars in someone else's cash. It wasn't his first attempt, but he was just a pawn in the ongoing scheme sent in by a crew waiting outside in the shadows who promised him a small payout. He had the fake ID and the forged signature ready to go. But he didn't know the bank tellers were already one step ahead. A simple internal note on the account turned a routine withdrawal into a silent stall tactic, keeping the suspect busy just long enough for police to close in. >> Where do you live? >> New York. >> New York. Do you have an account with this bank? >> Yes. >> Yeah. In New York is where I opened it. >> Okay. Does he have an account with you guys? seems to be a problem.
