Six charged in massive check fraud ring

Police have charged six people. Two of them had worked at Bank of America and Wachovia. The charges come after investigators with Gwinnett police's electronic and financial crimes unit began looking into several check fraud cases starting in 2009, investigators said. The checks -- a total of $420,000 -- were written from commercial and personal Bank of America and Wachovia accounts. Investigators said while a small group of people were writing the forged checks, they recruited others to cash them as an attempted cover-up. Investigators have named and charged six of the eight people involved in the fraud ring. Posted in: Check Fraud
