A Lombard couple is out thousands of dollars after they wrote two checks, not even close to that amount.
They said they're victims of a check washing scheme, and believe it is taking place at their local post office.
Therese Scarlati collected during her own investigation, collecting every sheet of paper, starting with those two checks.
Therese sent a $165 check to her insurance company. Her husband wrote this $64 check for the water bill — both mailed on the same day, yet somehow the amounts were both changed.
Her husband's was cashed for $5,700 in storage fees, while Therese's check was cashed for $5,200 for a snow plow rental.
