Setting Up A Dummy Corporation… Essay, Research Paper

Setting Up A Dummy Corporation…

How to get anything you ever wanted for free…

The “system” is a series of checks and balances. It’s an insiders club and

unless you know the rules or are willing to break them, you’ll probably never

have a pot to piss in. Not….

Where does it say, we have to put up with, read about or watch on TV, the

exploits of people like Donald Trump, Robin Leach or one of the “Kennedy’s”.

Personally, I’m tired hearing about all their bullshit. Who gives a shit what

Hillary or Tipper are wearing either?

When people like “The Donald” make a poor business investment and can’t pay

their bills on time, what do they do? They renegotiate. Yep, that’s right. They

tell the bank “I can’t pay” but I’m such a fabulous person you should

renegotiate my loan. Bullshit!

How fast do you think the bank would have you or me out on our ass? In record

time, right? Money is power and unless you have money you’re powerless right?

Not…

Money is an illusion. Power is an illusion. Both are projected by cunning and

affluent people and organizations to get what they want. And, if they can’t pay

for it, they go bankrupt or renegotiate. Why should they have all that luxury

and not us? Hell, I can default on a loan as well as any of them!

Almost every company in America will ship you goods on credit if you project the

right image, ask the right questions and have the right answers…People will

kiss your ass if they think you have great wealth. The best resturants will seat

you “up front” if they think “you’re a player”. Why not? Sounds good to me…

Is this method for acquiring material things legal? Hell no! But half the shit

Big Brother does to us everyday isn’t legal either…Want to ride around town in

a big black imported car for free? How about a brand new Pentium computer for

the office? The kids want Mopeds? Nooooooo problem! Pay attention.

Picking a company name…

What’s in a name? Business wise it could mean everything…if you want to get

over. It also has a lot to do with what you want to acquire for free. Let’s say

you want to start a new business and need all-types of office equipment.

You could call yourself “Sal’s Pizzeria” but that wouldn’t wash too well when

you’re trying to establish a $100,000 line of credit. Most credit managers will

dump the application in the round file and require COD cash. Not the best choice

of names. How about something like Tri-Star Industries Intl or RCA Electronics?

The idea is to project the image of a big well known company. Joe’s Paving

Company won’t work either…think of a large company and play with the

name…something that gives the illusion of being a huge conglomerate like

MicroSoft Corporation but in fact you use Microsoft Labs. Inc. Close but no

cigar, get the idea? When you speak with a salesman you tell him you’re from

MicroSoft…

I know someone who put together a company called Tandy Merchandising. When he

applied for credit with vendors he alluded to being the buying agent for Tandy

Corporation (Radio Shack) but sent purchase orders stating his company was Tandy

Merchandising. The greedy salesman always figure it’s a subsidiary and try their

best to push initial orders through credit in hopes of “getting the big one”.

This guy always ordered two dozen “pieces” as a sample order. The list of stings

was impressive. He also always ordered the best model of everything with all the

options. Imagine having two dozen Pentium computers, laser printers, desktop

scanners, big screen televisions, fully blown out stereos with speakers, ect,

etc, etc. These things can be turned into easy cash…

The goods you can acquire are only limited by your imagination…lets say you

want to open your own recording studio. No problem. Put together a “wish list”

and cut the purchase order. Fax it to the appropriate vendor and wait for the

salesman to call. Oh yeah, I forgot a few things. You’ll need to set up first…

Let’s say for the purposes of this lesson we’re gonna pick RCA Electronics as

our name, not to be confused (God forbid) with RCA – Radio Corporation of

America, the giant who made the radio, phonographs and television famous. Sounds

like a good name to me. Imagine the greedy son of a bitch salesman at the “Blue

Widget” company when you call and say you’re “John Smith (think of something

better), vice president of corporate purchasing for RCA” and you need 50,000

blue widgets. I guarantee the salesman will shit…but “since you got burned,

dealing with XYZ company you’ll require 500 samples ($200 each) for testing

purposes”. You must have them within ten days for evaluation and you’ll send

along a purchase order. I guarantee the order flys through processing . They

will extend you Net 30 days payment without even blinking. They want the big

order.

Acquiring dummy corporate papers

To open up a bank account you’ll need a corporate seal and certificate of

incorporation. You’ll also need a Federal Tax ID number. Certain states may vary

but generally this is all that is required.

Find a corporate resolution book from somewhere and get the certificate of

incorporation. This is the proof that the corporation is registered with the

state. Get a good typewriter, preferably one with interchangeable fonts. Make a

copy of the certificate of incorporation and “white out” the corporate name.

Insert your bogus corporate name (RCA Electronics Inc.) on the original and make

a good photocopy. You should now have a good photocopy of the certificate of

incorporation with your bogus corporate name on it.

Now you need a corporate seal. Let your fingers do the walking through the

yellow pages and find a company that makes rubber stamps. Generally these

companies also make corporate seals. Call them up and tell them you lost your

company seal and need a replacement to “do a deal” in a hurry. Most places will

take the order and have the new seal with your bogus corporate name on it in a

few days.The cost is usually about $20. You’ll have to supply them with the

corporate name, year and state of incorporation. Get this info off the

certificate of incorporation you liberated. Pickup the seal in a few days and

you’re all set. Be sure to get a tax ID number. In the New York area they

generally start with 13-xxxxxx. The second set of numbers is seven digits long.

Opening a bank account

Wait a minute. What is this? I thought we were robbing this stuff? Why do we

need a bank account? The simple answer is, some companies no matter how well you

try, will always require a company check with the first order. I suggest staying

away from these companies but sometimes they have merchandise you’re ALMOST

willing to die for…No problem. The check is gonna bounce anyway…You’ll also

need a bank account for a reference (don’t worry we’ll cover that).

Put a few hundred in your pocket, drive out of your area, and pick a large

commercial bank. DO NOT do this in your neighborhood or local small town! Pick

an area away from where you live. Dress well and wait until 15 minutes before

the bank closes for the day…Everyone is always in a hurry to get to happy hour

right?

Find an officer or new account teller and tell them you want to open a business

checking account. All you need is the corporate seal, certificate of

incorporation and the tax ID number. They might require personal ID so show them

your phony drivers license (see Creating a New Identity). You’ll need to fill

out a few forms, stamp your corporate seal and before you know it you’re out the

door with your starter checkbook. The real checkbook will be delivered by UPS in

about 7-10 days. Make sure you’ve given the “drops” address not your own. Try to

pick a bank that will give you an ATM card. They’re always nice to have in order

to get your cash back…

Setting up the drop

You’ll need an office to operate out of and I suggest a small suite with

reception area and one private office. Find an office with a good address (RCA

wouldn’t be on the poor side of town) and rent it for cash. Usually this will

require the first months rent and two months deposit. You DON’T HAVE TO SPEND A

LOT OF MONEY! Keep it cheap. You’re not gonna be there that long…provide the

landlord with phony ID also. DO NOT RENT AN OFFICE NEAR YOUR HOME OR NORMAL

PLACE OF BUSINESS.

Call the telephone company and order two phone lines. Try and get a “Gold”

number like 555-5000 or 666-4900. Something that sounds like a “big company”

telephone number. Make sure the fax number is not one digit off the telephone

number like: Tel: 555-5000 and Fax: 555-5001. This obviously means only two

lines. Don’t ever make a personal call from these telephone lines. Don’t ever

call home or anyone you know personally, not even a beeper. These phones are for

the “sting” They will be investigated after you’re gone. Make sure they find

nothing. Remember, you want to give the impression of a large company. If the

telephone company wants your reach number, give them a voice mail number ringing

into your beeper that you have acquired for cash in a fictitious name. NEVER

GIVE YOUR REAL NUMBER OR INFO. The phone company usually requires a few hundred

dollars deposit for two business telephone lines. Pay it. It’s chicken feed

compared to what you’re gonna make. Make sure you order voice mail with remote

access on the telephone line. It is not necessary on the fax line. When the

lines are installed, place a single-line phone with “hold” on the telephone line

and a fax machine on the fax line.

Next step is get a female (we’re not trying to be sexist but most telephone

receptionists ARE female) who’s “in” on the sting to answer the phone. She would

say something like “Good morning, RCA, please hold” and immediately put each

incoming call on hold for about 30 seconds. This gives the impression of a busy

switchboard. When she comes back on the line she would say something like “How

may I direct your call, please hold…while I connect you”…Get the picture?

Another nice touch is if you get one of those GOOD voice changing machines so

she can come back on the line as “your secretary”. Again, you must create the

impression of a large company. If you have a few people in on the “sting” let

them answer, creating the illusion a large department.

Credit References

Gee, how are we gonna establish credit? We’re only a few days in

business…Right. You are what you say you are! Most companies require three

credit references. Sometimes more. Set up your own references.

Go back to the friendly out-of-the-neighborhood beeper guy and setup four voice

mail beepers. Always pay cash. No record. Program the message on each one

differently. Something like “Hello, you’ve reached Northstar Distributors, all

lines are busy right now, we value your business, please leave your name and

telephone number and one of our representatives will return your call in a few

minutes. Thank you for calling NorthStar”. The “mark” will ask for “John Doe”

the credit manager to return his call. When the beeper goes off, simply make

note of the caller, wait a few minutes, and return the call to “John Doe” giving

“good” not “super excellent” credit info. You don’t want to draw suspicion.

Generally, if you’re trying to rip off $10,000. worth of merchandise you would

give a credit reference of something like “yeah, RCA has done business with us

for about 6 years, their high credit is $30,000-$40,000. dollars and their terms

are Net 30. They pay their bills on time…No problems…They’re a good

customer”…Every once in a while, you might question the “mark”, “Hey, what do

you guys sell? Not the same things as me I hope. I don’t wanna lose this

customer”…Heh, heh… it ALWAYS works…Remember, use different voices or a

GOOD voice changer..

Program two more beepers the same way with different company names that are your

“credit references”. Have each voice mail ask the “mark” to leave a name and

telephone number for a prompt response. Make sure the “credit references” are

large sounding companies with a resident credit manager or officer who handles

credit.

Program the fourth beeper as the bank. remember the credit application always

asks for the bank, bank account number and the number of an officer to contact.

The message might sound something like “Hi, this is Joseph Cupcakes…I’m away

from my desk right now, please leave your name and telephone number and I’ll get

right back to you…If this is an internal bank message, you can reach me at

extension 316″. The “mark” has no way of reaching extension “316″ so he will

assume he HAS reached the bank and leave his name and phone number for the bank

officer to return his call.

Wait a few hours or even until the next day. Have the “bank officer” call back

the “mark” and ask what this is in reference to…when he hears it’s a credit

reference he should be “reluctant” to give info at first. Credit managers are

used to that. It gives the appearance of normal bank resistance to divulge

customer information. After a little prodding have the “bank officer” agree to

divulge that “RCA” maintains several accounts of “mid-six figure numbers” in

that bank and is a customer in “good standing”. Translated, it means that “RCA”

has a few “million” on deposit with that bank. The “bank officer” might also add

“Don’t you know who RCA is?” Again, it creates the illusion of power and money

and appeals BIG time to the GREED of the “mark”.

Dun & Bradstreet Reports

Good old D&B. The ultimate business information network. Bullshit. The only

thing that goes into an initial D&B report is what YOU TELL THEM. Believe it or

not, I know several people that have acquired D&B reports on real companies,

copied the financial statements and passed them off as their own. Pick a company

that does several million dollars worth of business with an excellent D&B rating

and copy their financial statement. Include it with your applaication and D&B

will give you the same rating!

Call D&B and request a D&B number. They will give you one right over the

telephone. Ask them to fax over a credit rating application. Fill it out and

attach a copy of the “liberated” financial statement. In a week or so someone

will call from D&B to “go over” the rating form. Of course, you’ll be waiting

with all the “right answers” and in a few days you’ll have your new D&B credit

rating stating that your company is worth “several million dollars” and “pays

it’s bills on time”. D&B will actually send you a copy in the mail and this can

also be attached to any credit application your filling out to “sting” a company.

Sometimes D&B checks the bank. Not always. Don’t worry about it, your “bank

officer” is waiting anyway…

Getting the Loot…

Now that you’ve got the office with telephone and fax in place (some prefer a

laptop instead of fax and typewriter), you’re just about ready to start. You

must now do your homework. Make a complete list of what you’re ordering, from

whom and how many of each you need. Have backup vendor companies in case one or

more vendor companies is “out of stock” on an item. To expedite the ordering

process place a call to the “mark” companies and request a quote on the items.

The request should sound something like this “Hi, this is Rufus Teapot, I’m at

corporate purchasing with RCA. I have a request for six Pentium 133 Mhz

computers with 40 Meg RAM, built in CD rom with high speed internal modems. They

also want 20″ color monitors. I need a firm quote. I’m getting ready to cut a

purchase order. Can you fax me that quote today? I need to get three bids. I

need delivery by Friday” (3 days away). Do you have the items in stock? Can you

get them here here by Friday? Otherwise I have to go elsewhere. If these

computers fit the bill, we’ll need 60 more”….Guaranteed the salesman is

getting a woody…In a short while you’ll recieve the firm quote. You’ll also

receive a credit application.

Great care should be given to the preparation of the purchase order. You must

insert exactly the same information and model numbers that are on the price

quote. You don’t want anything to slow the process. Great care should be given

to the design of the purchase order. If you’re trying to shadow the real RCA,

get one of their purchase orders and design yours to look the same. You don’t

need a printer. Do it with a desktop publishing program. It also adds “illusion”

when you add something like “4500 outlets throughout the USA” on it.

When the salesman asks for the completed credit report say something like “Ok,

I’ll get that done for you. By the way we’re rated 1A by D&B. That should be all

you need. I’ll fax over a copy of our financial with a copy of our D&B report”.

The salesman will have the credit manager by the neck to approve the order and

your goods will be winging their way to you in no time…

It’s as simple as that…

Oh, by the way. UPS will deliver the merchandise unless you ask for FedEx or DHL.

No problem. Sign for it and get a van to cart it away. It’s not STOLEN

merchandise yet. You applied for and got credit right? No one is screaming fraud

yet right? You have about a thirty day “window” to get any and all merchandise

you want. After that the “mark” companies will be looking for payment. Be smart.

Get out of the “sting” location after three weeks. The average “sting” can get

you $100,000 dollars worth of merchandise for free. DON’T EVER GO BACK FOR ANY

REASON. DON’T BE GREEDY. This scam is so sweet you can do it over and over from

different location for years and years. There is NO WAY to track you if you

followed this plan. Also, DON’T EVER HIT THE SAME COMPANY TWICE…DON’T USE THE

SAME BOGUS COMPANY NAME TWICE. LOSE THE BEEPERS. ETC. ETC ETC. BE SMART…..
