 03.12 Juks med
golfutstyr:
Arrestert etter svindel
Golfsiden har skrevet om juks med golfutstyr en rekke ganger. Mange blir tatt
for å jukse. Her er et eksempel:
Two Arrested In Scam Involving Pro V1 Golf Balls
Fairhaven, MA (December 2, 2009) - The Lincolnshire Police Department has
confirmed that Lloyd Morris, of Deerfield, Illinois, and Marco Maggiore, of
Buffalo Grove, Illinois, were arrested on November 23, 2009 and charged with
money laundering, computer fraud, mail fraud and theft. According to an
official with the Lincolnshire Police Department, these two individuals
allegedly took advantage of the popularity of Titleist Pro V1 golf balls in a
scam that resulted in at least 88 victims and over $400,000 in damages, and
additional charges may be forthcoming. Morris and Maggiore were held at the
Lake County Jail with bonds set at $200,000 and $100,000, respectively.
Under the business names Iconic Concepts and Bellamax, Morris and Maggiore
allegedly sent numerous email blasts to businesses and consumers offering
logoed Pro V1 golf balls at extremely low prices. They then allegedly accepted
numerous orders, including payment in advance for the orders, but did not
deliver golf balls. In addition to accepting payment for orders that they never
filled, they also allegedly placed several orders with golf shops, took
possession of the golf balls, and then never paid for the product.
"Acushnet Company would like to express its thanks to the Lincolnshire Police
Department for their efforts in this case," said Joe Nauman, Executive Vice
President, Corporate and Legal. "We place a high priority on cooperating with
law enforcement to help protect consumers and our business partners from this
type of illegal activity."
"This is an unfortunate situation in which innocent people, including charities,
corporations, promotional product distributors and golf professionals, fell
victim to the deceit," continued Nauman. "Unfortunately, in this case, the
offers were too good to be true. We are an industry leader in protecting our
brands, partners and consumers, and we will continue to be diligent in seeking
the arrest and prosecution of those who attempt to damage them."
The Lincolnshire Police Department has indicated that there may be other
victims. Anyone who believes that they may be a victim in this case is
requested to contact them directly at 847-883-9900.
