Brazilian Woman Wheels Dead Man Into Bank For $3,400

A Brazilian woman wheels dead man into a bank to try and get his money. This woman definitely did it the wrong way by using a dead mans body for personal gain.

This woman who was later identified as Erika de Souza Vierira Nunes, according to UNILAD, thought she could pull one over on the bank. She showed up to the bank with her purse, and a man in a wheelchair. The only issue with the whole thing, the man was dead.

Video captured by the bank shows Nunes standing next to a wheelchair with the dead man in it. She was actually holding his head up to fool the bank into thinking he wasn't dead but just non-responsive.

Nunes was seen talking to the bank teller and the deceased man. She claimed that he was her uncle. Nunes was trying to get 17,000 Brazilian Reais or $3,400 USD from the bank. But in order to do so, she needed his signature on financial documents. She kept asking him to sign it, but he wouldn't.

The bank asked her what was going on and she told them, "He is like that. He doesn't say anything. Uncle, do you to go to the hospital again?" The bank didn't buy it for second. They later identified the man as Paulo Roberto Braga.

Police were called and Nunes was arrested. After her arrest, they determined that Braga had been dead for several hours. Attorney's who are representing Nunes are claiming that Braga was alive at the time of her trying to get him to sign documents in the bank.

Nunes is facing charges of fraud as well as abuse of a corpse.

As if there weren't enough things to worry about. Your credit card information may be stolen by simply using it in local retail stores, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police warn.

Scammers have recently been targeting the Las Vegas area by using EMV (Smart Chip) "skimmers," according to metro police's Twitter.

These "skimmers" are sleek, discrete add-ons to credit card machines that can be easily overlooked. These small devices can collect information from thousands of cards and even steal PIN number information.

The police say when unsuspecting customers insert their cards in a machine, the skimmer will still processes the purchase while simultaneously collecting your card's data. The customer thinks they made an innocent purchase when in reality, scammers have just collected their credit card information.

Due to the discrete nature of "skimmers," these devices can stay in place for a long period of time, which makes this a big problem, police said on Twitter. "Skimmers" are commonly found in ATMs, gas station pumps and "unmonitored" pay stations.

According to the Federal Trade Commission, consumers often don't notice their information was stolen until the bank sends a statement or an overdraft notice.

To avoid being a victim to this scam, here are a few tips to spot these devices so you can protect your financial security.

Although "skimmers" are small, these devices are not impossible to find. Las Vegas Metro Police said on Twitter that compromised credit card machines with "skimmers" often stick out and are noticeably different than other PIN pads.

You can further check to see if there's a "skimming" device inserted in the machine by pulling on the PIN-pad hood. By pulling on the hood, the skimmer may come loose from the credit card terminal, police said.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation says consumers should inspect ATMs, point-of-sale (POS) terminals and other card readers before using them. If the machine appears to be crooked, damaged or scratched then you shouldn't use it.

Las Vegas Metro Police recommends that if you find a "skimming" device, do not tamper with it. Instead, alert a store employee and call "311."

And as always, it's important to contact your financial institution if your credit card information was stolen or comprised. Be vigilant, pay attention to your online banking app and be safe!
