She sent a $50 check in the mail. But a scammer changed it to $5K and the bank cashed it. Updated Apr 01, 2021; Posted Apr 01, 2021 Margo Anderson tried to make a $50 donation, but she said someone changed her check and stole the money. Facebook Share Like many people, Margo Anderson likes to donate to charitable causes every December. At the end of 2020, the Morris Plains woman wrote a $50 donation check to her high school alma mater, Packer Collegiate Institute, in Brooklyn. But on Dec. 14, she noticed a problem with her TD Bank checking account. “I noticed a big discrepancy between what I said it had and what the bank said it had,” she said. “It turned out, because I saw the check image, someone had somehow removed all my check information and written herself — the name is Sharine Gomez, which is likely made up — a check for $4,860, which was withdrawn from my account.”
