Duane Fraser said a number of calls have been received by the police indicating checks they've written were cashed and not cancelled as promised. According to Fraser, a salesperson approaches customers and asks if they want to order magazines. When a customer says no, the salesperson tells the customer he or she is trying to earn points for a free trip and if an order is made, the check will be cancelled and the salesperson will still get credit for the points. "They say they'll write cancel on the check and return it," said Fraser. "But instead, they just go down and cash the check." The salesperson asks the customer to write the check in the salesperson's name so he or she will get credit for the points. "We know who these people are, they're registered with us but there isn't anything illegal about it," said Fraser. "It's not illegal for a person to cash a check if the check is written out to him." Fraser said his office had received at least seven calls by noon Friday. He said there was a similar scam in the area not long ago by one group but this is a separate group.
