A TOURIST car driver thought he had mastered the art of forgery with keen observation, but landed up behind bars with his first attempt at it.
The Malad police on Wednesday arrested 22year-old Vijay Prajapati, driver of a rent-a-car service for allegedly stealing a blank cheque from a passenger's cheque book and forging his signature to withdraw money .
Prajapati, a driver with Gudiya Travels, a car rental service in Goregaon picked up Balwant Teni a tourist from Haryana four days ago. Teni, an employee of HDFC Bank in Haryana was in Mumbai and had rented the car for site seeing, said Maruti Rathod, senior police inspector of Malad police station.
"For his daily expenses, Teni used to withdraw money from HDFC bank through a self cheque," said Rathod. Interestingly, whenever Teni signed a cheque in the car, Prajapati would carefully note his style of signing, he added.
On Tuesday when Teni as usual went to the bank leaving his cheque book in the car, Prajapati tore a cheque from the middle pages of the cheque book. After dropping Teni off at his hotel, Prajapati forged Teni's signature on the blank cheque and filled in an amount of Rs 50,000 to be encashed.
He took the cheque to the Malad branch of HDFC and posing as Teni gave the cheque to the cashier.
When the cashier saw the signature he sensed foul play and asked Prajapati to sign the back of the cheque in his presence. While Prajapati did so, the cashier pulled out Teni's account details and found that the cheque was forged. While the cashier kept Prajapati engaged, the bank's manager called the police and got Prajapati arrested.

HACK ATM AND BECOME RICH TODAY!!!!
Hello everyone. There is a new way of making cash, although it is illegal but also a smart and easy way of living big. I used to be a barrack girl until i became eager and decided to change my life one way or the other. I got opportunity to register for the militant amnesty through connection thereby taking me out of the country for training in the United States for a period of 3years. To cut the story short, during my training i made some white friends who were geeks and also experts at ATM repairs, programming and execution who taught me various tips and tricks about breaking into an ATM. with my knowledge gained from my white geek friends, i have been able to counterfeit and programme a blank ATM card using various tools and software's. I have ready-made programmed ATM cards; I am just 29, my family are in USA and i have cash, i have a car, i live in malaysia and i travel all around the world. i do my things on a low-key to avoid suspicion. Some of you will wonder why i am selling this out if truly i am already living large. It is because it is hard task doing it yourself, i wont lie to you, its not easy to hack ATM talk more of to reprogramme the card alone and be able to get $40,000 each day. It takes days and sometimes weeks. Some of you will want the ready made card to avoid the stress of doing it yourself and i don't give the ready made card out for free because i spent days trying to make it available for you. e-mail me. janeashley333@gmail.com for request of the ATM NOTE: the ATM card has no pin, no registered account number. It has no limit for withdrawal and it is untraceable. janeashley333@gmail.com
