LAS VEGAS (KSNV MyNews3.com) – 5/2/2014 — “Check washing,” the process of erasing details from checks to allow them to be rewritten continues to attract victims.

Julie DiMaggio had written a check to her copy service for her law office. When she later checked her bank statement, she realized something was wrong.

“The check cashed for $2,100,” DiMaggio said. “And I had actually written it for $125.”
