Published July 15, 2008 11:15 pm - Alleged scheme leads investigators to Hulbert
HULBERT — Law enforcers seized items from a Hulbert residence they believe were being used in an international fraudulent check scheme. Arrests are expected in the near future. Investigators said officials received information that a Hulbert resident was using the United Parcel Service center in Muskogee to send fraudulent checks totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars throughout the United States. Along with the checks, investigators said, were requests that the recipients cash the fraudulent checks and use part of that money to send a legitimate check to a third party. During the course of the investigation, authorities learned the checks were being sent to sellers of big-ticket items such as airplanes. Law enforcers say it appears the scheme may have originated in Canada or Nigeria. Monday’s search was executed by the District 27 Attorney’s Office, Wagoner County Sheriff’s Office, District 27 Drug Task Force and UPS investigators. Anyone with information about the alleged scam should contact investigators with the District 27 District Attorney’s Office Bogus Check Division at 485-2058.
