Jim Berschinski wrote a check for $3.62 for the balance he owed on a medical procedure. It was intercepted and altered to $8,110. It was the second check altered and cashed for a total of more than $16,000.
Thornton resident Jim Berschinski holds copies of two altered checks, totaling less than $50 which were altered and cashed for more than $16,000.
As it turned out, a check he had written March 25 for $46.23 to Commonwealth Edison had been swiped, altered and cashed for $8,000. Berschinski was able to get the funds returned to his account, but he is still working with Fifth Third on a second altered check.That check also was written March 25 and mailed that day at the collection boxes outside the Thornton post office. It was for $3.62 for the balance he owed on a medical procedure.
However, Thornton police Chief Glenn Beckman said Thursday his department is not involved in any formal investigation, and that the Thornton post office did not report to police that the collection boxes had been broken into. The three collection boxes were removed soon after, but new ones will soon take their place, according to a U.S. Postal Service spokesman.
Tornow sent a $10 check in early December as a holiday tip to the person who delivers his Southtown, and the check somehow was altered to show a payment of $9,500 and was cashed two months later.
