If you know the system and have a relationship with a professional counterfeiter, it is apparently quite easy to rake in millions of euros. This was proven by a gang of fraudsters from the Innviertel who provided front men and women with false identities and then defrauded banks and mobile phone operators.
The fraud gang mainly operated from Mauerkirchen, but also had people in important key positions. This is how the scam worked: In Serbia, fake ID cards were obtained for about 60 stooges who existed, but actually had different names. The ‘auxiliary staff’ then used these authentic-looking documents to register with real apartments. Provided by a real estate industry accomplice – the stooges never lived there, but still had a real community registration form.
