Press release from the issuing company
Friday, September 24th, 2010
Fake payroll checks are floating around South Georgia. Investigators say the checks look real, but they're not.
That's why Investigators are asking merchants who cash payroll checks to be on the lookout because if you are not careful you could be the next victim.
This week Investigators arrested Michael Paul Hines in Albany. He had a fake payroll checks in his possession. Investigators in Albany and Terrell counties had similar warrants out for Hines as well, but investigators do not think he is the only one involved in this counterfeit ring. They think someone in the Albany area is making these checks on their home computer, while other people try and cash them.
