Account Verification

[Arthur Little]

I would not shout too loudly about that as it almost certainly amounts to a criminal offence of deception.

... oh dear, John , I very much doubt if the guy was trying to deceive anyone - since, as far as I can see - he'd simply been hoping to maximise his girlfriend's chances of a visa being granted!

Arthur in a personal sense I have no interest in what ssbib did, I was positing to inform others that to do what he said he did, almost certainly amounts to a criminal offence in UK.

He said they put the money in the account just to obtain the visa, then it was returned.

That is, it was put there just to deceive anyone checking into believing the funds were the property of the account holder.

In my opinion that would justify criminal charges.

The bank managers I proesecuted were parties to just that practice and they were convicted.

As I said, just a word to the wise.
