(photo/Nina Van Lieshout) Cheque fraud in Huron County HURON — Several Huron County residents have received money orders in the name of FED EX, some in excess of $5,000. Fraudulent cheques are used in a variety of scams such as advance fee letter fraud, overpayment and prize pitch. Overpayment scams is when the person receiving the cheque is actually owed money for goods sold. The seller receives a counterfeit cashier's cheque, personal cheque or corporate cheque from the `purchaser' in an amount in excess of the amount owed. They are asked to deposit the cheque and wire the excess funds immediately back to the sender/purchaser or the purchaser's agent or ship- per. Then the deposited cashier's cheque is subse- quently returned as coun- terfeit and charged back to the seller's account. Anyone selling goods should be suspicious of any cheque, especially if it is for more than the agreed selling price. To protect yourself against this sort of scam, never agree to a deal in which the payer wishes to issue an amount for more than the agreed price and expects you to reimburse the balance. Stammers use a variety of excuses to explain the overpayment, but any such excuse should be treated with suspicion. To avoid overpayment scams remember the fol- lowing tips: • Know who you are dealing with, and indepen- dently confirm the buyer's name, street address and telephone number; • Never accept a cheque for more than your selling price; • Never agree to wire back funds to a buyer. A legitimate buyer will not pressure you to do so and you have limited resources if there is a problem with a wire transfer; • Resist pressure to 'act now.' If the buyer's offer is good now, it should be good when the cheque clears. If you accept pay- ment by cheque, ask for a cheque drawn on a local bank or a bank with a local branch. Visit that bank branch to determine if the cheque is legitimate.
