They did not content themselves with imitating their parents' signature in the correspondence book. Two 15-year-old high school students were arrested on Wednesday in Etampes for having produced false documents and having committed fraud on Internet.
The apprentice counterfeiters fabricated fake prescriptions, fake report cards and salary slips.
With their precious papers, the two young people tried to get Viagra and opiates in pharmacies. They also defrauded social services with false papers. The police accuse them of about forty acts of this type.
But that's not all. These teenagers, who were previously unknown to the police, turned out to be seasoned hackers. Thanks to a probable generator of credit card numbers, they managed to buy many products on the Internet and have them delivered. When the carrier came and asked them for an identity document, they presented stolen or falsified papers. According to a police source, the two accomplices used to go to the Barbès district, to Paris, to provide.
The police have so far counted a dozen scams. THE Galeries Lafayette are part of the companies cheated and the financial damage would represent several tens of thousands of euros. A preliminary investigation has yet to determine the significance of the facts.
It was Fia-Net who discovered the pot of roses and filed a complaint. The company verifies the security of online shopping websites. The police realized the extent of the damage by exploring the USB keys and computers of the two budding crooks. The expert forgers were released at the end of their police custody.
