SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Check fraud is a growing problem in our area. A Sioux Falls woman is now facing several charges after court documents say she tried to cash thousands of dollars in fake checks.
42-year-old Stacy Schaunaman faces multiple felony charges of forgery and identity theft. Court documents say that she has a history of attempting to cash fraudulent checks.
“A lot of the methods are the same that we’ve seen through the years as far as check washing or taking information from legitimate checks and then printing that information on check blanks, so anyone can go to an office supply store or Amazon or Walmart and buy blank checks,” Sioux Falls police spokesperson Aaron Benson said.
