agent.A neatly dressed stranger pays for her groceries with a payroll check issued by a company in a nearby city. In the next few hours, she does the same thing in several other food stores.
In another community, a middle-aged man pays for a pair of shoes with a Government check. He moves to other stores and cashes several more Government checks.
In a third city, a well-dressed woman pays for an expensive dress with a blank check. 'I need a little pocket cash,' she says. 'May I make the check for $20 more?' The salesclerk agrees, never suspecting that the customer does not have an account in any bank.
Tomorrow, these three con artists will work in other communities.
The specialist in payroll checks will fill out blank ones which she has stolen. The passer of Government checks is also a thief. He steals Social Security checks, tax re-fund checks, and so on from individual mail boxes. 'Blank check' Bessie will hit her victim after the banks have closed.
These three, and others who pass worthless checks, are clever. They live by their wits and are often glib talkers. But they are not so clever that you can’t outwit them.
