The Million-Dollar Fraud
Scorro County, NM
A man reported at 11:11 a.m. that he had received checks totaling over $1 million and all the checks received had been bogus. He said they have been written on a bogus account or company, and that he does not know why he is getting the checks as no explanation is ever inserted into the envelopes with the checks. He stated he has a Web site called “Free American†and possibly this is the reason.

He must have thought he had some easy money till he got to the bank and then he decided to get the law involved, but only after he didn’t get any dough.

Um, you guys haven’t checked this guy out yet, have you? He’s JUST the type to complain to the GOVERNMENT that folks are sending him bogus checks.

A new world order conspiracy nut type. Of course it has nothing to do with the brain trauma he suffered as a result of his motorcycle accident.

I agree, Ritch. And I know exactly what happened. The checks, while unsolicited, are created by individuals and companies because of their fervent belief in his ideals and convictions as represented by his web site. But the government intercedes to prevent him from getting the cash by removing bank accounts or whole companies from electronic existence. In a desperate effort to get his hands on the money, he decides to make this conspiracy known to his loyal followers by making a splash in the local paper by generating a police report.
