Endicott Woman Accused of Cashing Fake Checks

Investigators say an Endicott woman faces four felony counts after she allegedly printed bogus payroll checks and cashed them at Visions Federal Credit Union.

Authorities say 48-year-old Katherine Wright of Jefferson Avenue was charged with criminal possession of a forged instrument.

According to Endicott police, Wright is suspected of stealing more than $2,600 in the scheme.

A detective said Wright may have learned of the scam from a Craigslist posting. After discovering the scheme, she allegedly tried it herself.

Wright is said to have cashed the checks at Visions automatic teller machines.
