Investigators: 70-Year-Old Cashed Illegal Checks From Nigeria

QUEENSBURY -- A 70-year-old woman from Ausable Forks has been arrested in connection with cashing illegal checks from Nigeria that were really from a Georgia woman’s bank account, according to the Warren County Sheriff’s Office.
Investigators said a check worth $2,400 from the Georgia account was cashed at a Queensbury bank in early June. It was one of many cashed around the country.

Deputies later traced the checks to Patricia Pulsifer, who they’ve charged with two felony counts of Criminal possession of a forged instrument and one felony count of Grand larceny.

She had received the checks from Nigeria, investigators said. She had also tried to cash another check for $1,700, but it was rejected.

Pulsifer is due back in court next week.
