) - Offenders collectively owe victims $3.9 million in fraudulent check cases. Each year, collections are in the thousands of dollars.The district attorney, nearing his 100-day mark in office, said during a news conference Wednesday that his office’s bad check unit sow has a warrant officer for the first time since 2011. Typically, that unit tries to collect on bad checks by making phone calls and sending emails.
“And just within the last couple of weeks since he’s been doing that, we’ve noticed more people contacting us trying to set up payment plans so they can get this restitution paid to the victims,” Blackwood said. “We want this to be something that will make our victims whole and will deter others from writing bad checks and victimizing individuals and businesses,” he said.
“Even businesses that aren’t in business anymore – someone is owed that money,” he said. “There’s still someone that had that business that is a victim of these worthless checks.”
