AUGUSTA, Ga.--- First the Raceway gas station on Washington Road and then the Discount Stop on Sandbar Ferry Road. Bad checks passed to merchants; some of them on fake accounts while other checks are flat out fraudulent.

The owner of the Raceway says he's out of 26-hundred dollars. The Discount Stop store owner is out over 1500 dollars.

Richmond County investigators are looking into the matter.

If you know anything about these fake checks or if you are a merchant and suspect that you have one of these bad checks, you are urged to call the Richmond County Sheriff's Office.

This sounds just like something my ex-husband did to me! Actually, he was writting bad checks everywhere...some in my name...some in his. A natural born liar.

Since when do you cash checks at a gas station, especially in that large of amount? Theres cash checking places all over theplace.

to the gas stations - do you have any of these guys on camera cashing these checks, because maybe the public can identify them.
