She should have said - well we tried calling first but were on the phone for quite a while- you said our call was important to you and you were 'experiencing an unusually high volume of calls'...

You need to be two people to pull that off, and the corpse must be wearing beach attire and shades. The shades are important. /s

Your honor I object.
She was only looking to defraud the bank of less than $4k USD.
Wheeling in her deceased uncle to a fucking bank branch is easily worth at least a $5k USD fraudulent loan.
I rest my my case.

As far as i can tell the loan was for around 4.5 months average salary for Brazil. Its a windfall but not a "retire early" windfall.

Put the comma in, otherwise it's three dollars and a quarter if you use the .

Here is Brazil it's the other way around, he must mixed it up. Here it would be R$3.250,00

Anyone remember those two guys who took a dead family member to withdraw money from the post office? Can't believe she thought she would get away with it.

Why was taking the corpse their first plan. It's seems this type of fraud would be a lot easier by just impersonating the deceased person. It not like the deceased would be able to sign anything or share recall any accounts numbers.

The post office guys I think wanted the deceased's pension and they were a lot younger so I doubt that would have worked.

It's really disturbing. I do not recommend watching the uncensored version.
