Scam Alert: Counterfeit Check
A Montgomery County dealer reports that a customer who identified and presented himself as Raheim Jackson, a CFO of LA Associates or Production Solutions offered a $5,500 counterfeit check as down payment on a leased vehicle.
The customer presented a valid drivers license and proof of income, said the dealership.
