What made people even more speechless was that the checkbooks issued by various banks were not in the same format and the same anti-counterfeit technology. As long as you specifically look for the young window staff of a small and medium-sized bank, the check is real, but if you tamper with the content, it will be easy to pass. If he went to Los Angeles, which was very close to San Francisco, not only would there be more banks, but it would also be even more difficult for someone to find San Francisco if they wanted to exchange checks in New York.
Because the cross-state investigation was the matter of FB1, the amount of fraud was small, and FB1 would postpone it or even ignore it. William wondered if he should try. After all, there were as many fraud cases in America every year as there were in the future.
The next day, the two of them went to a bank near Chinatown to cash a check. William was still considering whether to forge the check. He had only taken a few steps when he realized that Frank was a little absent-minded.
He immediately guessed that Frank, who had been complaining about the tiring odd jobs for the past half a month, was thinking about the check.
Sure enough, a few nights later, when William returned to his apartment, he saw Frank sitting at his desk and covering a book on the table in a panic.
At noon the next day, William used the excuse of buying materials to ask for an hour's leave from the owner of the house. He followed Frank to a city bank outside the block.
However, this kid didn't go straight into the bank. Instead, he carried his backpack and went to the washroom in the shopping mall near the bank. He changed into a suit with his school badge torn off and dressed himself up like a gentleman. He returned to the look of a rich young master before he really entered the city bank.
William could not help but sigh. Just as he had guessed, this guy was not someone who could endure hardship.
William had seen Frank's forged American cheque last night when Frank was asleep. He had only used a blue paint pen to change the number 3 to 8, and he dared to cheat people.
However, Frank used his appearance to attract the attention of the young girl on the counter. He focused all his attention on the flirting between the two of them and easily got the 20 dollars in cash.
This kind of small payment check was equivalent to withdrawing cash directly from the drawer's account. In the end, no matter how the bank and the customer solved this problem, the money that Frank had withdrawn would never be recovered.
And if Frank was smart enough to put nail polish on his fingers, his fingerprints would not be on the check, and it would be difficult to convict him.
Seeing this, William was secretly happy. He stood in the innermost line of the bank and watched Frank leave the bank with swift footsteps. He also returned to the employer's house.
After finishing the day's work and getting paid to go home, he saw Frank singing and frying steak in the small kitchen.
Hey, William, look what I bought."
Frank smiled as he picked up the pan, revealing a piece of steak that was covered in dense snowflakes. It was a premium steak with many marbled fat lines in the lean meat.
William, who knew why Frank was so generous, pretended to be surprised and asked,"Did you pick up money or hit the jackpot?" This steak costs three dollars, right?"
" Special grade, the second highest grade, five dollars and 200 grams, buddy." Frank's eyes flickered a few times and he said with a smile," And don't look down on people. Can't I find a good job?”
"Come on, how can two of us who have not graduated from high school, have no education, and have no special skills find a job with high income?”
" Who says I don't have special skills?" Frank turned around and put the pan back on the stove." You know my mother was French and my father's ancestors were Spanish, right?" " Yes." After William nodded, Frank turned around and smiled." Now that the economy is in a bad state, many wine and whiskey wineries that used to focus on Gome have been forced to export their products.
I can speak French and Spanish at the same time, and because my grandfather's family lived in Spain and my maternal grandfather's family settled in France, I became a senior talent. With a base salary of 500 US dollars a month and a commission, I'll definitely make a fortune in the future."
William, who was hesitating whether he should take the risk to play with fake checks, suddenly wanted to learn French and Spanish from Frank.
The fact that many Americans knew several languages was nothing at all. But he didn't realize that not stopping Frank from making a mistake today meant that he also wanted to get rich, and the friendship between him and Frank wasn't as deep as he thought.
Otherwise, it was not that he could not survive, nor was it that he did not have a future. Temporary hardship was exchanged for a stable future. However, this was understandable. After all, he was used to being poor in his previous life. His desire to make a fortune must be stronger than the average person.
After eating the most expensive dinner since he came to this world, William washed the dishes while looking at Frank, who was sitting at the desk and thinking about how to improve his method of altering checks.
Frank stopped working with William the next day. However, he promised to spend an hour teaching William French and Spanish every night.
A week had passed. At 8 p. m., William came back with a backpack and a French dictionary in his hand. When he opened the door, he saw Frank sitting on the sofa. He quickly stood up and greeted him with his eyes. But William looked at Frank's ordinary clothes and his heart sank." What's wrong with you?"”
" I-I…" Frank stuttered for a while before saying in embarrassment," I've been fired, William. I can only beg you to take me to work with you. Otherwise, I can't even afford half of the 40 dollars rent this month."
" No problem." William didn't know what Frank was up to. He had to stop after only a week.
But at the same time, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
He hadn't reminded Frank to stop him because he wanted him to test the waters. Now that he couldn't do it, it was a good thing.
However, a few days later, when the two of them received a personal cash check again, although Frank did not say that he would not do odd jobs, he was generous again. Needless to say, he would definitely return to his old job.
William only thought about it for one night before he roughly understood that Frank was forced to come back to do odd jobs. It was 100% because of the rich man who gave them the first check, or the bank that opened the account.
After discovering that there was an abnormal amount in his bank account, he froze or changed his account so that Frank could no longer use him as an ATM. Frank came back to do odd jobs for the checks and accounts of other rich people.
Two days after the incident, William, whose curiosity was piqued by Frank and the free lunch, went to the largest public library in San Francisco after finishing his work. It was still early, and it was open until 10 p.m.
He found a few books that were related to checks and real cases that had been solved.
When it was nine o'clock in the evening, he slammed a book on check scams, put all the books back on the shelf, and left quickly with his backpack.
When he got home and saw Frank eating an apple and reading a magazine, the first thing he said was,"We have to talk."
