Complainant stated a burgundy Honda Civic backed into her vehicle as she was driving through the lot.  She stated she stopped and suggested to the female driver of the Civic they contact the police, as her car sustained damage.  She stated the driver of the Civic proceeded to speed off.  The plate came back to a 23-year-old female.  Several possible addresses were located for her and letters were sent to each asking her to come to the station and complete the crash report. No response was received.  An investigating officer eventually located a cell phone number for her and spoke with her.  She was evasive as to her current address; however it appears she may be from Roseville.  She was asked to come to the station to complete the report and gave several excuses as to why she couldn’t.  She confirmed she had been driving and was in the crash; and provided a couple different explanations as to what happened and why no information had been exchanged between her and the other driver.  It was discovered her license was suspended.  Her car was located at her place of employment which turned out to be in the vicinity where the crash occurred and tickets for driving on a suspended license and failing to report the crash were delivered to her there.  She is now claiming the other party hit and ran on her.

 

Credit, Check, Identity Theft, and other Fraud:

 

Complainant reported discovering his debit card was fraudulently used at an ATM in Waterford to make a $100.00 withdrawal from his account.  He indicated he has the real debit card in his possession and suspects his account number was compromised and used to create a counterfeit.

 

Complainant reported someone filed a 2006 tax return with the state in her name and received a $4000.00 refund.  It appears a fraudulent account was opened at a bank using her personal information, as well.  The incident was discovered when complainant’s accountant received notice from the Michigan Treasury Department regarding the second return.

 

70-year-old complainant from Troy came to the station to report receiving an e-mail advising him one of his friends hired the sending organization to kill him and that if he paid $8000.00 he could have his life spared.  Complaint was advised the e-mail was a scam.

 

A 20-year-old male complainant from Clawson reported he left his wallet in his friend’s car on 6/17.  His 19-year-old male friend from Bloomfield Hills returned the wallet on 7/1.  Complainant later discovered his debit card that was inside the wallet was used to make two fraudulent purchases at locations in Troy during the time period in question.

 

Complainant stated he laid-off a 31-year-old male employee from Royal Oak.  After the lay-off, complainant discovered two of the company’s credit cards were used to make unauthorized purchases in Chicago.  Complainant stated at least one of those cards had been issued to the employee in question that he was unable to retrieve prior to the lay-off.  He also became aware the subject recently went to Chicago.  Total charges:  $820.00.

 

Complainant received a notification from her credit card company regarding unusual activity on her card.  A fraudulent purchase was made at a store in Troy using her account number for $1349.73; an attempt for a $544.66 at another store in Troy was denied; the outcome of a third for $364.00 was unknown, and an $8.00 fraudulent purchase at a Troy gas station went through.  She stated she was in possession of her card.

 

Complainant discovered someone fraudulently ordered a new phone using her cellular account, and had it delivered to a store in Troy.  The store in question is vacant; however there is a cell phone store next door from which the complainant learned an employee there signed for it.  The complainant traveled to the store and asked the employees about the incident.  The name of the employee she found herself speaking with was the name of the person she was advised signed for the phone.  He told the complainant he didn’t have the phone, and in fact returned it, as it had been sent in error.  Neither her cell phone company nor the shipper has a record of the phone being returned.

 

A 55-year-old male complainant from West Bloomfield reported he entered into a business arrangement with a 70-year-old male from West Bloomfield who was a salesman at a local dealership wherein they would buy used cars from the dealership taken during trade-ins and then try and re-sell them for a profit.  Complainant stated he provided $1600.00 to buy one car and it was supposedly sold.  He then received $2400.00 cash for his portion of that deal.  He apparently fronted additional monies for additional deals.  He was given two checks for $2600.00 and $3000.00 as his portion of those deals, which both were returned non-sufficient funds.  He contacted the “partner” who advised he’d make the checks good on 6/11, however never showed up.  Subject has ignored certified letters complainant has sent demanding payment.  Complainant suspects the subject never bought any cars on their behalf and was scamming him all along.

A 62-year-old male complainant from Troy stated he answered an advertisement in the newspaper placed by a company calling itself Consumer Research Group that was looking for someone to investigate wire transfers with Wal-Mart.  He faxed his resume and was contacted by phone indicating he was hired.  He was sent cashier’s checks valued at $2500.00, $2500.00, and $2750.00.  He was advised to deposit them in his account, deduct $200.00 from each check as his commission, and then wire the remainder from each check in cash from three different Wal-Mart stores to an account that he apparently does not have any additional information on.  After being sent six additional checks and noting they all had the same number on them, he went to a bank and spoke to a teller who confirmed they were fraudulent.  Shortly thereafter he received a letter from his own bank advising the original three checks were counterfeits and he was responsible for the lost funds.
