Detectives with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office are investigating a fraud in which a Polk County resident had her checking account compromised.

The check which was cashed was determined to be fake, after it was cashed at a Walmart in Tallahassee on August 31st.
The attached photos are of the man who cashed the check. It is unknown if he is from Polk County, or elsewhere, but hopefully someone will recognize him.
