Woman Wanted In Check Cashing Scheme
August 28, 2010
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office is looking for a woman that is wanted in connection with a fraudulent check cashing scheme.
Pamela Kay Quarles of Tampa is wanted for questioning in connection with the scheme, according to the Sheriff’s Office, but warrants have not been issued for her arrest. Investigators believe she is traveling in a black Jeep and may be is possession of checking printing equipment.
Ten other suspects in the scheme are in custody, according to Sgt. Ted Roy, spokesperson for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
“It is unclear how long this group has been in the area but it believed this ring of thieves had just arrived. Due to the quick thinking of business owners/employees and law enforcement, it is believed that this group was not able to get established and begin to steal from businesses,” Roy said.
Further details about the scheme or those in custody were not released.
Anyone with information about Quarles should contact the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620.

I guess the term “thick as thieves” does not apply to this bunch. I read in PNJ.com (I think) where several were arrested in Pensacola (?). I guess she left them to fend for themselves. One man that was arrested said he was picked up from a homeless shelter in Tampa and brought to Pensacola to cash the checks and was paid $50 for each check he cashed. It also stated that the clerk at the store where he was trying to cash the check, which was I believe drawn on some Temporary Employment Agency, noticed that the phone number on the check was for a prepaid cellphone….. Kudos to the clerk for being alert to the information that was on the check or these thugs could still be ripping businesses off.
