Late last week the City of Wayne was made aware of a string of realistic-looking, fraudulent business checks being distributed and used around Wayne and multiple surrounding counties.
The banking information, account numbers, business names and signatures on these fraudulent checks are all copies of real people/accounts.
This scam is an ongoing investigation. Please remain vigilant while exercising caution and attention to detail if accepting checks from sources you are not familiar with.
Anyone with questions or information regarding this matter, is asked to contact the Wayne Police Department at 402-375-2626.
