MILTON, Ga. — A Milton man told police Sept. 11 that someone had intercepted his $13,800 check sent in the mail and cashed it.
The victim said he mailed the check as payment for a June invoice from a framing contractor, but that it had been cashed by someone else via mobile deposit. According to the police report, the victim’s bank sent him documentation of the cashed check with a name attached.
A representative with the bank’s fraud department informed the victim his account was closed, the report said, but the case has yet to be resolved.
The victim told police he wrote another check for nearly $12,000 Sept. 8, and that his bank notified him that someone had tried to cash the check in Texas. But the victim said the check was caught in time and was not cleared.
