Brazilian woman arrested after taking corpse to sign bank loan: ‘She knew he was dead’

She should have said - well we tried calling first but were on the phone for quite a while- you said our call was important to you and you were 'experiencing an unusually high volume of calls'...

Anyone remember those two guys who took a dead family member to withdraw money from the post office? Can't believe she thought she would get away with it.

Why was taking the corpse their first plan. It's seems this type of fraud would be a lot easier by just impersonating the deceased person. It not like the deceased would be able to sign anything or share recall any accounts numbers.

The post office guys I think wanted the deceased's pension and they were a lot younger so I doubt that would have worked.
