Fraud Credit Card Claim

So my friend was at Vegas; he got $2,000 dollars out of an ATM machine (the ones that don't need a pin), got a voucher, went to the cashier, signed the receipt, and got the money. He then lost all the money back to the casino. He got really pissed and told the credit card company he lost his card and the charge wasn't by him. Everything went pretty smooth and the company said he will receive a paper in a few days and all he's got to do is sign it.

I told him the credit card company could investigate it and find out it was a fraud.

He said as long as he tell the credit card company the signature was forged and doesn't admit to it, the credit card company isn't going to go through all the work to find out if it was him or not for $2,000.

Do you guys know for sure?

This I can't imagine him not getting caught. Casinos are covered in cameras

If the CC company or casino look into it, he is fucked. Some businesses will actually scan in the receipts to have electronic records and that includes the signature. All they'd have to do is match it to another signature.

Or they don't have to go through all the trouble, and just look at the CCTV connected to the ATM.

All you have to do is get a new friend.

I'm kind of worried about him.
All the transactions are done by computer. They can literally put in the name on the card and pull up the transaction, the signature, who was working the window, and the video of him signing.

Fraud, Grand larceny, etc.

Maybe one of Bavs friends can BF him in jail.

I'm certain if the CC company investigates and adjudicates anything worth investigating, they'll catch your friend.

With that said, I think much of the investigative resources are directed towards big fish... the casino might decide to do some digging of their own, however -- depends on if it's worth it to them and I'd imagine it depends on the personality of the security personnel. If I were in charge, I'd certainly spend time to put my boot on your friend's face, but that's because my personality has a strong aversion to frauds, scammers, and thieves.

Your friend sounds like he has a gambling problem if he's going through this much for only $2,000.

i really don't think that either the bank or casino would investigate $2,000 worth of damage. they simply don't give a shit.

I think the casino would rather bust a little fish before he turns into a big fish. Stomp the problem out before it really starts. For all they know it was a small scam and this guys planning on doing the same thing for $10k.

Your buddy is screwed.

You're talking about Vegas where each casino has a team of people who's sole purpose is to catch people like your friend. They've seen almost every scam imaginable and I guarantee you that your friend was not the first bright spark to try this. Tell him to quit while he is ahead and have him throw away the paperwork the bank sends him.
