Oxford bank customer’s reaction to fraudulent check forces call to police

A bank customer who apparently was the victim of a scam refused to accept that explanation and became upset at the bank manager who explained the $800 check he wanted to deposit was fraudulent.

An officer responded to US Bank at 1 Lynn St. at 2 p.m. April 20 when the manager called to report the situation.

The manager said the man had come into the bank to open a checking account with $100 and wanted to then deposit the check.

When the bank manager informed the customer that the check was fraudulent, he banged his fists on her desk and made a comment about how the bank has gone downhill since “the women” took over.

The bank manager asked the man to leave and called police.

She said she did not wish to press charges but was going to trespass him from the bank so he cannot return and wanted a paper trail in case he returns.

The officer noted in the report he was familiar with the man from incidents earlier this year at Walmart, where he expected Money Grams in return for money he had sent out but none had been received.

Employees at Walmart had also told him they expected a scam, but he reacted with anger and left the store.
