The guy who we called so they have some more questions for you. Hold on, buddy. Hey, how you doing? Let's step in that office and lights off. Okay. So, what's your name? Kelly. What's going on, man? Where'd you get this truck from? Um, alarm system that I put in the house that he got in. Okay. Where is the where's the house at in the area? I really don't know the address. I just do work. All right. Make that make that make sense again. I mean, you do what? I help people put in alarm systems. I mean, houses. All right. What company do you work for? Where's What's your business? I don't know. A friend of mine texted me saying if I needed some money so I could get some some money cuz I don't got a job. So he said if I could help him doing alarm system for Paul so I could get some bread out of that. Yesterday I just received that through mail. You received it through the mail? Yeah, I received for $7,000. Yeah, I just I just received it through the mail and I came here just to check it check if it was good, if it wasn't bad because it was weird to me that the the amount of it the amount of I even called him and I said, "Oh, this too much money." Like that's weird. I received it through the mail and I just came by if it was good or if it was bad or something. So if I ask him these checks aren't going to be reported stolen or anything, right? I assume that they're not cuz I just received it through mail. Okay. Find out why I got flagged. Is there something wrong? Yeah, we got called for a fraud. So, something's wrong with these checks. Fraud? Yeah, something that is not a fraud cuz the friend of mine was the one that called me to get to get some money cuz I really need money cuz I don't got a job right now. All right. Where are you living? I'm from Puerto Rico. So, where's your friend? Huh? Where's your friend? I don't know. I just went to get the check and then I just left. Am I in trouble? Something has happened. Until we figure out what's going on here. I just You're detained as of right now. Texts were being brought into different banks from South Carolina, right? Yeah. Um and Augusta Road in South Carolina, RTD Bank up there. There was two what? Two more down here. Um cuz pretty much what we do is we get notes like we have a system that we could see if any fraud comes in and we could put it out on our system for each account. So the phone numbers were changed today, the accounts were changed today. the guy, which oddly enough was able to answer some of the questions on the on the profile, but when we asked him about his email, he didn't know it. Now, there was no email on the account. He was like, "I don't remember which one I use." But there was nothing on the account. Um the guy the the customers in Brooklyn, but we can't find the actual number for the customer. We just have wherever we're talking to. And the guy was getting really aggressive on the phone. I'm like, "Dude, there's a check for $7,500. I just want to make sure I'm giving money to the right person." And he's like, "No." He's like, "The check's good." He's like, "I'm done answering your questions." And I'm like, "I'm helping you out." So right there it's a red flag for us also. All right, Kelly. Let's restart this. So I'm going to read you something, buddy. Okay, these are your rights. Your rights may be silent. Anything you say may against you right to attorney have him or her with you now anytime your question attorney will be appointed to represent you. These rights are mine. You will talk to us. Huh? You want to talk? Question. Do you want to talk? Yes or no? Okay, let's restart this conversation. Kelly, where'd you get a check from? I don't mind as me if I wanted some money. You're a friend? A friend of mine? I I don't really know his name. He never gave me his name. I just called him uh Cuba. So Cuba called you? Yeah. But so Cuba said, "You want to make some money?" If I wanted to make some money. Where did you meet Cuba? I met him at Orlando. Okay. Where did you meet him? Get a check today. Oh, Orlando. Just a day. Yeah. So, what he So, what did he ask you to do? He just said, um, just take this check, go to the bank, and say you want to cash it. Okay. How much did he say you can get from it? Have you cashed it? Um, I think it was like maybe one one,000. So, the problem is, man, it's fraud. surp. So I mean the person that are you able to identify Cuba like you don't do you know like his name like you know you don't know his person name but you can identify him if they found him. Yeah. How do you know him? I just met him through Instagram. You got his Insta? No not really. You pull his messages? Yeah. I deleted the messages and after that I just couldn't get his Instagram no more. Like you don't have the messages anymore. No, I deleted everything. But you met this guy on Instagram, right? Yeah. So he don't love you from the next guy up the street. So why if he's got these stolen checks, he going to give them to you and be like, "Hey man, come bring me back all the money. I'll give you some. Don't make no sense. I I just trust him cuz I needed the money so I could help my Yeah. I'm saying why would he trust you?" I don't know. He probably wouldn't, right? I don't know. Maybe he wouldn't. He probably wouldn't. Yeah, maybe he would. I think it's No, I'm not. You got his phone number? Yeah, I do got his phone number. Not the type of conversation of today. I've never been in trouble my whole life. Hey, can you translate this for me? I'm feeling nauseous right now. Can you translate that? You got something that I can throw up. Thank you. I've never been in trouble my whole life. White Cherokee and a blue Chevy. You're good, dude. Relax, bro. I'm trying. I'm trying. I'm just really nervous. I love it. Do what? Well, probably. Yeah. So, he's talking about open another account. Something another account with Calvin. Something with direct deposit. And he's asking me to open another account right now. Yeah. cuz he he said if I wanted to do some some direct deposit and I said no cuz I don't trust no direct deposits cuz most of the direct deposits they they fraud some stuff like that. So I was like I I think I lose my account. Who's Kelvin? Kelvin is a friend a friend of ours. Where's he at? He's just open up another account. I'm just talking about what time is a check. I haven't ate nothing. That's why I can't I can't really I'm about to get arrested. Uh probably. Yeah. Hey, look at me. Relax. Listen. This is how this works. You're going to go right now. Just trying to catch a fraud check. All right. But if you talk to her, I can't make any promises, but if you talk to her X, Y, and Z, she this might be bigger than just you. You feel me? You don't [Music] [Music] [Music] suicidal. All right. Can they send it over? You said you don't have a car here, right? No car, no bike, anything we need to get out there. Nothing. All right, leave your jacket there. Turn around. Relax. You got somebody you want us to call? Mama, no. Kelly, anything on you? On my water in my pocket. All right, hop on in. Say, "Hey, Kelly." Kelly, listen to me. Relax. Breathe. Catch up. Catch your breath real quick. Relax. You ready? [Applause] All right. I'm trying to watch the front end back. Basically, we need you to tell us what's going on with this. You know more than you're telling me. The best thing in this situation is honesty. Honesty goes a long way. Okay. All right. All you're in trouble for is trying to forge check. You're trying to cash a forge check. That's all it is. It is a felony, but it doesn't mean anything. If depending on what happens with C and stuff, they might not do anything. It's up to them. Okay. But this is something you need to be upfront and honest. If you know who Cuba is, even if it's your homeboy, whatever, dog. No, it's not a homeboy of mine. But you feel what I'm saying? This is time to be truthful, man. Yeah. All right. It's your ass on the line, not nobody else's. That's why he's having you do it. His attempt to pass off counterfeit money may have seemed like a quick way out, but it's a serious crime. By trying to cheat the system, he not only broke the law, but risked his future. He now faces charges for passing a counterfeit bank note. A costly reminder that dishonesty never pays.
