WENGNews writes, "SARASOTA COUNTY SHERIFF’S DETECTIVES ARE INVESTIGATING A CHECK CASHING SCHEME TO DEFRAUD OCCURRING IN SARASOTA AND MANATEE COUNTIES. THE MAN HAS BEEN GOING INTO LOCAL SANDWICH/SUB SHOPS AND PLACING LARGE CATERING ORDERS, SOME AS HIGH AS $2000 DOLLARS. HE REPRESENTS HIMSELF AS WORKING FOR AFLAC AND TELLS THE EMPLOYEES THAT THE ORDER IS FOR THE COMPANY. HE’S BEEN USING COUNTERFEIT BANK OF AMERICA CASHIER’S CHECKS TO PAY FOR THE ORDER, TAKING BACK THE CASH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE COST OF THE ORDER AND THE CHECK. THE MAN IS DESCRIBED AS A WHITE MALE, BETWEEN 40 AND 50 YEARS OLD, WITH A MEDIUM BUILD AND HAS A BALDING HEAD. IN ONE OF THE HEISTS, HE IS SEEN WEARING A SHORT SLEEVE LIGHT COLORED SHIRT, LIGHT COLORED SHORTS AND SUNGLASSES. ANYONE WITH INFORMATION IS ENCOURAGED TO CALL DETECTIVE CHRIS EMILIUS OF THE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS BUREAU OF THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE AT 861-4900, OR YOU CAN CONTACT CRIME STOPPERS AT 366-TIPS, OR WWW.SARASOTACRIMESTOPPERS.COM.
