MIDWAY, FL (WTXL) - Scammers got away with $24,000 of Midway's money using forged documents.
According to City Manager Auburn Ford, a recent scam involving forged checks allowed scammers to make way with thousands of dollars in city money.
Forged checks that were identical to those used by the City, were submitted to Capital City Bank and used to access city funds.
City Manager Ford says the city will be taking definitive action in response to the scam to ensure this does not happen again. This includes changing current account numbers and implementing a new system for those submitting checks who will be honored by the bank.
Ford says the incident occurred about four weeks ago and the city has recovered the money since then.
