Three men were busted relative to a check scam that began on the Internet. Guam Police Department spokesperson Sergeant Joe Carbullido says the owners of the Hagatna Corner Store allegedly found a check scheme on online portal Yahoo! where they downloaded checks and then deposited them into their business bank account.


The men managed to deposit $155,000 worth of checks, cashing about $21,000 of that amount before the Bank of Hawaii realized the checks were bogus.


27-year-old David Gary Charfauros of Hagatna, 44-year-old Joseph Talavera Flores, Jr., and Hong Van Nguyen of Tamuning were charged with forgery and conspiracy to commit forgery.


GPD forwarded the case to the FBI.
