Counterfeit Cashier's Checks In Washington - West / Northwest

Numismatic Crime Information Center - Several dealers in the State of Washington have been victims of counterfeit cashiers checks issued on the Providence Federal Credit Union out of Seattle Washington. The loss to date is approximately $300,000.

The suspects are a male and female. The female is using a fake California driver's license in the name of Maria G. Villareal DL #B8645567. The address on the DL shows 1416 N. Edison Blvd Apt C Burbank, CA. The only information on the drivers license that is valid is the females photo. The only information on the male suspect is that he is going by the name of Jeff.

The suspects are purchasing one ounce gold coins and may come in as a couple or separately. They are very convincing and the phone number on the cashier's check appears to be valid when calling for verification but it is bogus!! A male subject identified as Nathan a supposedly employee of Providence Federal verfies the check however he is part of the scam.

Dealers in the Portland area should call 911 if they are approached by the suspects.

These suspects are traveling and may have connections in Las Vegas. No suspect vehicle has been identified
