Posted by Admin in TWO days ago, armed with a fake payslip and bank statement, I walked into a Morkels furniture shop in the Johannesburg CBD and applied to open a credit account.
I alerted the manager to the fact that the documents on me were fraudulent – but the sales consultants were not aware of that.
When processing my application, the sales consultant asked for my bank statement, payslip and identity document – the only original document I had on me.
My Stats South Africa company payslip said I worked as a marketing manager.
Once the application was approved, I bought a 74cm Samsung plasma TV for R4385,09; a Samsung home theatre system and DVD for R4385,09; and a 34- litre Samsung microwave for R1314,91.
After filling in the application form, the consultant told me that my documents had already been checked.
