Phony checks should be ripped up

Published Friday, July 31, 2009

NATCHEZ — Several reports of illicit checks associated with a scam have been reported to the Adams County Sheriff’s Office Thursday.

Investigator Ricky Stevens said county residents have been mailed checks from a Victor Morales of Florida for several thousand dollars.

When the recipient attempts to deposit the money, the scammer is given all the victim’s banking information.

“If you get one of these checks, just tear it up,” Stevens said.

There is no such thing as FREE money. Not enough details here to grasp the whole of this scam.
