Telecommunications Manufacturer Defrauded of $131,500

Outcome: Perpetrator Identified and Imprisoned; Full Client Restitution

Telecommunications manufacturer received a $131,500 order over its toll-free telephone line.  Manufacturer verified references then delivered order. After order remained unpaid, we were retained and determined that purchaser‘s office was located in a business office center where the purchaser had presented false identification during the office application process. Client toll-free telephone records indicated that the order was placed from the same building where order was delivered.  Surveillance of that building identified suspect as a former disgruntled client business associate. Federal authorities were contacted resulting in his conviction, incarceration, and full restitution to our client.
