  Speaker 1: Okay, this is not a commercial. I'm not being paid
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: to say this.
• 0:46

  Speaker 2: I used to drive my grandma in the town back
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: in the day in Monks Corner, South Carolina, that's what
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: she used to like to do, stop at Wendy's and

• 1:00
  Speaker 2: of comfort. Now Linda is facing a felony charge of
• 1:03

• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I can't lie to y'all. I love hearing about a
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: creative scam. There's a reason they call people scam artists,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: because a scam artist knows how to paint a pretty picture.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: They have to be creative artists in order to get
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: you to do what it is they want you to do.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: And Linda has painted a pretty picture. She actually did
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: one of the most creative scams I've seen in a
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: long time. Would you like to know what Linda has done?
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Let's go to ABC News for the report.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Police former general manager out of Wendy's and like Sir County,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: was found stealing from the store. According to an audit,

  Speaker 2: Linda Johnson created a fake and play clocked in and
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: out as a ghost employee and had the paychecks go

  Speaker 2: to her bank account. And that's why she's getting donkey
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: here to day to day. Why would you have these

  Speaker 2: checks go to your account. You don't have a cousin,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: a friend, You couldn't open up an LLC. I'm not
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: encouraging you to do the crime at all, but if
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: you're going to do the crime, I mean, damn, If
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: you're going to scam, the key.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: To scamming is not getting caught. Okay. The key to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: scamming is.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: To not have a paper or digital trail that leads
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: right to you. Now, let me tell you my favorite
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: part of this story.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I was reading this when other managers were questioned about
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: the worker okay, the ghost worker. Police said some could
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: not remember working with them, while one manager reported that
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: they met him once. Can we stop right here and
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: play a game of guess.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: What race it is? Now?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: We're not playing a game against what race it is?
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: For Linda Johnson. Okay, I don't care what race he is.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what race she is, but I
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: want to know what race do y'all think this person
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: was who just lied about meeting an employee who never existed.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: He said he met him one time. Let me repeat
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: the story. Linda Johnson, general manager and Wendy's, created a
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: ghost employee, an employee that never existed. She got about
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: twenty grands into her bank account. When other managers were
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: questioned about the fake worker, they said they could not
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: remember working with them, while one manager just one volunteered
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: a lie and reported that they met this person that
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: didn't exist once.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Willie d guess what race it is?
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Oh man, that's hard.

  Speaker 1: be any race.

  Speaker 2: But just say it, Willie. I know it's on the
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: tip of your top. I know you don't want to
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: do it, but no, you know.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: I'm just gonna say white, just because I blame everything.
