ORC duo- men
dressed as women - committing credit card fraud busted
in Manhattan Beach, CA and hitting businesses and
retailers all over Southern CA.
Cornell "Corey" Jackson, 29, of Lakewood and Marquet Dorsey, 24,
of Rialto - who both stand more than 6 feet tall, weigh
200 pounds and sport long black hair - are suspected of
purchasing thousands of dollars worth of goods by duping
the clerks at retail stores into processing their phony
cards, police said. Manhattan Beach detectives opened
the case June 1 when Jackson allegedly purchased $1,172
worth of sunglasses from Trendy Sunglasses in Manhattan
Beach using a prepaid Visa card with a zero balance.
When the card was declined, Jackson got on his phone and
said he was calling Visa to fix the problem. He then had
Dorsey pose as a Visa employee and call the store clerk,
Martin said. "Dorsey tricked the clerk into processing
the sale by providing a fictitious `authorization code,'
thus approving the transaction," Martin said. The clerk
took the code, which matched normal approval numbers
that display on credit card swipe machines, and plugged
it into the system. Police suspect the men engaged in at
least 40 fraudulent transactions. Each was run
similarly: One of the men would use an unfunded or
fictitious credit card to buy goods. When the card was
declined, the other man posed on the phone as an
employee of a credit card company. (Source dailynews.com)

ORC
Joint Operation - Gilroy, CA
Gilroy, CA - There will be an ORC Operation in the
Gilroy Outlet Center on July 18 and 19, 2012.
The Gilroy Police Department
has committed that they will be a part of the
operation and CHP has indicated they are likely to
be involved in the operation as well. There have
been a few retailers that have committed that they
will be on site and involved but we will need more
participation in an effort that will be a major
offensive to Organized Retail Crime in the area. I
encourage you to contact me at:
rmiller@fnpc.com to stay in touch on the
operation as well as participate.
There is a news crew from NBC who is very interested
in the operation according to CHP and our position
on this is "that if the local news affiliate wants
to come and cover our handiwork AFTER we have landed
something and they want to film everyone all lined
up and stacks of recovered stolen product, they are
welcome to do so. However, we cannot make a decision
like this for every retailer involved in this
operation". Any retailer who wants to be involved in
this operation and doesn't want their company
information disclosed will have the right to that
privacy.
