Wanted fraudster ripping off Queensland businesses
A man who poses as a cigarette or tyre wholesaler before ripping off businesses is wanted by Police.
He targeted a Nerang business back in February and one in Surfers Paradise in March.
Five others have been hit in the past month, in Caboolture, Gympie, Cairns, Toowoomba and Nambour.
In a statement, Police explained how the man (pictured below) goes about his dodgy practices.
“(He) contacts the business in person or over the phone pretending to be a tyre or cigarette wholesaler,” Police said.
“He then attends the business to receive payment in cash and sometimes has arranged for the items to be delivered by a legitimate wholesaler at the same time.”
“He leaves the business with the cash payment whilst the items are unloaded.”

He is described as having an olive complexion, 177cm tall with brown hair and a large build and speaks with a slight accent.
He is believed to be currently travelling in a white corolla (pictured) although he has used other cars.
