Full Episode
We're making $1.2 million a month. I have IDs to go with any card that I need. So I had a crib in Scottsdale. I had a crib in Houston and Miami. One of my best friends is a U.S. Marshal. Nobody knows that I'm a scammer. So I was charged with bank fraud, wire fraud, aggravated identity theft. My mindset is, bro, I'm coming back with a vengeance.
The girl that I was talking to at the time, she's like, hey, listen. you have to give the gab, you know, I know you got this college degree. Nobody's really hiring right now because of this recession thing is trying to blow over. This is in 2010. And she's like, Hey, look, Why don't you just come work at this collection agency? Right? So I'm like, all right, cool. Yeah, I'll try.
There's no shortage of collections.
I'll try it out. I'll see what's going on. So in my mind, I'm thinking bill collector whole time, right? That's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
I'm thinking bill collector. So the pay wasn't that much. I think it might have been $12 an hour at the time. Like I said, this is 2010. And I'm like, all right, cool. So boom, go to the collection agency. My first month. I made a bonus because what they did was they paid you 25% of whatever. Okay, so you had a goal. Let's say your goal is $7,000, right? But you collect $10,000.
So 25% of the $3,000 over is what your bonus would be. So my first bonus was $2,000. Plus the $12. Plus my $12 an hour, right? So I was like... It can't be this easy. So what we were doing, we were collecting on payday loans. Online payday loans are like Ace Cash, stuff like that. So I'm like, man, this is pretty sweet.
That's like $85,000 a year. $85,000 a year. That's on the low end. That's on the low end.
If you're just a trash collector, like... you know, you might, you, you know, trash collectors clear 60. Right. But I actually, so I actually got into character with this stuff. Right. So, um, I had a shake name, right. I had a shake name and I will also have a clothes name. So whenever I called the people would be like, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring. Hello. Hey, this is Victor Roy he.
