in Budgeting & bank accounts
I paid in two cheques which were of a large amount I was been given the yes sir no sir you need to put his into another acct. when I was given the receipt for the cheques they had credited another £100k I told the young lady behind the counter ......the look on her face was quite a picture thing is if I'd of walked in with a £100 cash and they credited it with a receipt of £1000 I may well of got away with it but just shows what mistakes can be made

    I went to a grammar school as well, the one overlooking The Oval cricket ground in South London for what it's worth ....... Best days of your life even if you subjected to flying board rubbers and other jollities on the path of secondary education

    That depends, if you had opened the account with fake id, deposited £100 cash but they entered £1000, and then you withdrew it over consecutive days, you might have been able to withdraw all the £1000 before they found out and they would struggle to find you.

    Of course, disguising your identify for the photographs they take might take a little doing and would require more than a pair of tights.

    Or they'd balance their till that evening, find it £900 short and deduct it from your account.

    As for only needing a pair of tights, I can assure you that no fraudster I've ever encountered had any need for hosiery and as such I never asked if they were wearing any, so I'm not sure what relevance this has.
