_________SWAT MAGAZINE ISSUE TWENTY TWO: OCTOBER 1999 __________ / \___________________________________________/ \ / SETTING UP FAKE BANK ACCOUNTS \ / WRITTEN BY FETT \ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This might already be common knowledge to a lot of people but theres a lot of ways of actually getting a bank account in a false name but heres a step by step guide. This requires a lot of patience and time but is well worth the effort.(Dont expect an account overnight) Are you sitting comfortably then I will begin. STEP 1 - Firstly you need to get some fake id to actually have a hope in hell but thats what i'm going to tell you. You need to build up an impressive amount of id which will range from library cards, mvc store cards, post office savings account book,etc,etc,etc. STEP 2 - Where to get the id from? First off find the local branch of MVC ( NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH HMV) these are stockists of cd's,videos that give you a club card for free, you have to fill a form in at the shop but you can give them any details that you wish and a card will be sent to what ever address you give them. STEP 3 - Find a supplier of fake id such as in magazines like maxim, fhm,bizarre,viz, to save you the hassle of looking heres the addresses to some: Sadbros (Dept CAD) Marville Direct Ltd LSL, Issuing Dept PO Box 1664 Dept FHM9 PO Box 24600 Ringwood Marville House London BH24-3YZ 39 Philip St. - Chester E9-5UZ CH2-3BZ Buy a good quality id ( Not the ones that say private detective ) Fill in the details of the id as you see fit. STEP 4 - Go to the local WHSmiths and get a free loyalty points card sent with the name that you intend to use as your alter ego. Also join the local Elecronics Boutique (Computer games shop) as they also give you a card with your name on. Remember the more cards you have with your name on then the easier it is to convince people thats who you are STEP 5 - Type up/scan a phonie letter to yourself because using your id that youve already gained you are going to get a solo bus pass from a post office(Make sure they dont know your real name in the post office or the next one wont work) A solo bus pass can be bought for £10 and for this you will get a weeks worth of bus travel but you dont want it to travel ,you want it as extra id, so take your id along with a passport photo and they give you your bus pass there and then, They have to ask for identification but as they only think you want to use it to travel the will swallow any id you give them. STEP 6 - Now using your MVC card, WHSmith card ,EB card , Solo bus pass and your fake id card you are going to join the local library. If questioned on how you came about your fake id card( The one with your photo on it ) you just have to pull some shit like you used to have to have them the last place you worked/they were needed to access the computer room at college.The fake id with photo is usually quite convincing on its own ( I once fooled the police years ago once when I was underage drinking with a fake id) Your library pass should arrive in a few days. STEP 7 - If you would like more id then use your imagination , get a post office savings account, join a video rental shop ( Join an independant one, dont try join the likes of Blockbuster as you have to have a barcode tatooed to your arse just to set foot in the shop) Maybe you know a friend who works at a place were loyalty cards are given away (Boots, victoria wine) STEP 8 - Remember to have a lot of convincing id before trying to open a bank account, like I said earlier that time is the most important thing here as over a long period of time a lot of id can be gotten such as a Television license can be gotten in any name that you tell them( TV licenses are considered to be Id all on there own)Remember to research each peice of id and how it is obtained before trying to obtain it yourself ( Just have a friend go to enquire about club/loyalty/rental cards first to scope out the stuff thats needed and then you can go and take the exact id needed ) STEP 9 - When it comes to opening an account try and stress the fact that you only want an account for saving( Dont worry as once the accounts set up this can be changed ) and it would also help if you went to open an account with a bit of money (Dont open an account with £1) Once you have an account opened for a while you could maybe get an overdraft( Why anyone would want to do that is beyond me!) Its not my fault if you do any of this stuff and get into some serious shit (Mainly by getting caught)I do not take responcibility for your actions ( If I told you to put your dick in the fire , would you?) so be careful as this is intended for information purposes only ( Its strictly theoretical) ..................................FETT.................................
