State Police are investigating a case of fraud that happened in Home, PA.
Police say that sometime in December of 2017, the victim, identified as a 54-year-old man, sent a business check to a Canadian Business in December of 2017. The check did not make it to the business, but two checks were fabricated with the victim’s information, made out for large ammounts of money. State police say that this is a Canadian scam where after the US Postal Service sends the mail to Canada, the business check is intercepted in Canada for unknown people, and then they are able to make fraudulent checks out of it.
The victim then loses a large amount of money, which is then believed to be sent to Nigeria.
