Forged check scam

Unbelievable...I've heard of people stealing checks out of mailboxes, but have you ever heard of people soaking them in a solution to "wash" them so they can use them? Police say the checks were most likely stolen out of the owner's mailbox - checks that were written for routine bills.

"...Inside the vehicle police found a plastic container with two checks floating in an unknown solution along with a PlayStation gaming system....

...In speaking with the owner of the checks, investigators discovered the checks had been written for bill payments and most likely were stolen from a mailbox and then “washed.”

The other two passengers in the vehicle, Jermaine Moore, 27, of Snellville, Ga., and Michael Lamar Jones, 28, of Valdosta, Ga., were arrested and charged with forgery in the first degree."
