Belize City man gets 40,000 dollars in fraudulent cheques
Many businesses are exhibiting signs proclaiming that they do not accept personal cheques … and tonight there is yet another reason to retain the practice. According to forty-eight year old Austin Waight, he received a cheque from Alex Nunez on February eighteenth for thirty-five thousand dollars and another on July thirty-first for five grand. The monies were commission for a land deal, but when he deposited the cheques, Waight says he was told they were fraudulent. Police are looking for Nunez for questioning.
