DUNWOODY, Ga. — A Dunwoody man reported a case of check fraud to police Sept. 21, nearly three weeks after he'd mailed four checks to pay the family's bills. The day after the checks were mailed on Sept. 5, the man's wife checked their account and discovered a check was pending for $2,052. The family's record showed the check was originally made out for $202 to Georgia Power. The man contacted Bank of America which froze all four checks, gave him a new bank account number and opened a fraud investigation.
