This was his “modus operandi”

The young man, who describes himself as a ‘Greek God’, claimed to have a degree in Law and Business Administration. In addition, apparently, he worked as a consultant, according to information from the local media ‘ABC’.

However, he would not only live on his attributes and intellect, as a judicial investigation accuses him of organizing a whole group of 23 men to make purchases through Amazon, cheat platformkeep the items, and supposedly resell them on other sites for a hefty profit.

According to investigations, Izquierdo and his gang created hundreds of false profiles on the page to acquire technological products, such as high-value cell phones and computers. They had about 400 Credit cards to finalize payments.

Once they received the order, they went to the Amazon return policies arguing that it was in poor condition or did not work correctly.

Thus, they requested that the products be picked up on the street, commercial establishments or gas stations so as not to arouse suspicion and that, apparently, the householders did not discover that it was a recurring situation.

The surprise that Amazon got when it inspected the return package was worse: there was no content. They are accused of returning boxes full of other items, but not with the technological equipment purchased. Since the trading company noticed the fraud after having returned the money paid, it could not suspend the accounts in time and initiate the relevant processes.

Selling stolen items

In addition, the authorities indicate, the group sold the devices on pages of second-hand items. As soon as they got the double profit (return and resale), they allegedly started the same ruse: they created another fake profile on Amazon to cheat.

The platform evidenced the shortcomings and brought the issue to the attention of the Police. After more than a year of tracking, Mister Toledo 2022 was captured at his residence and his subordinates.

As seen in the video of the arrest recorded by the authorities, the uniformed officers found other technological equipment in the house and large sums of cash. In total, $100,000 was on hand; however, the rest of the stolen will seek to be recovered.

The group is awaiting their trial for which they are accused of fraud. None of them have spoken about it. Now, they will face Amazon, the world’s electronic commerce giant, in court. video.
