Ten days after mailing a $1,640 check through the U.S. Postal Service, a Hilton Head couple found the sum had been “mobile deposited” into the bank account of a man they didn’t know.
Sheriff’s deputies believed the fraudsters stole the first check from the mail and used it as a “template” to make copies, then attempted to cash the fake checks into their own accounts.
Police across Beaufort County reported at least 13 such incidents since the beginning of March, representing over $60,000 in attempted theft.
