THREE MEN SCAM
XEROX OUT OF $90,000.00 WORTH OF INK SUPPLIES
Three
men scammed Xerox out of $90,000 worth of printing supplies by ordering
the goods through shell companies based in Bensalem and paying with
fraudulent bank accounts, according to court documents.The supplies in
question – boxes of ink sticks for the Phaser 7500 color printer – have
not been recovered, police said.
Bensalem detectives arrested the
men Monday night on several theft-related felonies. The accused are
Nathan Allen Kriegler, 42, of Michael Road in Northampton; Ryan Allan
Pollack, 33, of Glen Place in Elkins Park and Evan F. Appel, 33, of
Valley Glen Road in Elkins Park.The trio allegedly ran companies named
B&N Group and Huntingdon Valley School of Graphics out of the same
office at 2248 State Road. They also had a company named Digital Express
Graphics located on 2577 Interplex Drive, police said. Each defendant
faces six third-degree felonies, which are punishable by up to seven
years in prison. On-call District Judge Daniel Baranoski in Penndel set
bail for each of them at $100,000.
After they were arrested on
Monday night, Kriegler said they had intended to pay the company and
were planning to do so within a required 60-day period.Police said three
men set up shell companies to place orders that were paid for with
fraudulent bank accounts.
