FEATURED CASE # 0008. Swindler Case # 00018. The
following US currency collectible banknote was delivered on April 15, 2009 to the following person and
address:
HUMBERTO PACHECO, 5607 La Mirada
Ave. # 303, Los Angeles, CA 90038.
November 2009: Juan Humberto Pacheco Guzman now lives at: 4520
Santa Rosalia Drive # 11, Los Angeles, CA 90008.
It was obtained by him in a fraudulent way with a friend's or a
stolen credit card. Telephone number listed in the order 323-309-3866
belongs to GUZMAN PACHECO (voicemail answers as
"Humberto"), yet when I called them they denied that
anyone with surname
PACHECO is known to them. JUAN HUMBERTO PACHECO (in the photo,
the website is now taken off the air) seems to be from Lima,
Peru and resides in USA. Apparently the recipient (Humberto
Pacheco, who signed the UPS shipment as well) either used a card
of his friend, relative or a stolen card data was used by him to
purchase the banknote. The owner of the credit card (who we
thought
was Juan Humberto Pacheco's friend Salomon Alvarez from Santa
Ana, CA 92707, sending him a gift) has submitted a payment
reversal (chargeback). Juan Humberto Pacheco Guzman's email
address: hpgpacheco@hotmail.com .
Stolen banknote: $10 Dollars issued by Citizens National Bank of
Lebanon Kentucky in 1909 in VF-XF condition.
Serial # A258456H / S 3988. Other number: 10834. Please inform me if you come across this
banknote or know who owns it.

Proof of delivery and H.
PACHECO signature image (click to see). Loss $630.
UPS representative "Jasmin" said that HUMBERTO PACHECO
came to a UPS location to pick the shipment up and has provided
his
government issued ID and
signed for it as per above image.
Update: On April 25, 2009 at 11:59 PM to 12:00 AM (midnight)
someone from 323-309-3866
(Phone ID displayed "PACHECO GUZMAN")
called my phone number and did not speak. After I called by voice
the surname displayed on the phone ID the person hung up the
line.
This crime has been reported to FBI at https://complaint.ic3.gov and to US Postal Inspectors: https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov . Also a
police report will be filed with Hollywood, CA police department
at Hollywood Community Police Station, 1358 N. Wilcox, Hollywood,
