Boynton Beach man loses thousands after mailing check at post office

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. — After WPTV spoke with a woman who lost $50,000 in a check-washing scheme last week, NewsChannel5 is now hearing from another victim, who mailed a check at the same post office.

WPTV first met Boynton Beach resident Lorna Swartz last week.

“Forged my signature, left the amount,” Swartz said. “I feel abandoned. I would say I do not write checks at all anymore.”
