Urges More Care In Check Cashing Forgers employ many ruses to g .m y o u r coni idencc, M ille r said, and the most common one is to enter a business establish ment, select a few items, then ask to cash a check, for more than the purchase price. Others use names and addresses that are fa m ilia r enough to appear leg it im ate. . or sob stories in varied degrees. Four third party checks were cashed in Port Orford recently for a total of $146. The checks were drawn on ficticious persons with non-existing Bandon ad dresses and cashed by a person using ficticious names and Lang lois and Coquille addresses. Nine of these checks have also been passed in Coos County.. . all by the same person. Three forged payroll checks were cashed recently in Brook ings to the tune of $836. These same type checks have also ap peared in Grants Pass, Crescent C ity and Coos Bay. GET ID E N TIFIC A TIO N One of the quickest ways to stop a forger^ M ille r pointed out, was to require complete identi fication. Make sure checks are endorsed while you watch Nev er cash a check from a stranger for more than the amount of his goods. After all, M ille r cautioned, how much profit is there in a $20 sale when the merchant cashes a larger c h e c k , giving hard- earned money in change, then finds out the check is worthless. Curry county- sherifl Bill Gaunt- lett and deputy sheriff Ira Deta in art er were also guests of the chamber.
