Eric Salvant, 35, sentenced to nearly 3 years in prison for his role in a $23,600 check fraud scheme using stolen and altered checks.
Eric Lamont Salvant, 35, of Snow Hill, was sentenced to nearly three years in federal prison for his role in a check fraud scheme that ran from September to November 2023.
He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bank fraud and two counts of bank fraud after conspiring with two others to steal checks from mailboxes, alter them using software, and deposit counterfeit checks into accounts held by money mules.
The scheme, which involved fraudulent deposits totaling about $23,600, collapsed when a Shallotte bank teller flagged a fake check.
Authorities found over 50 stolen or counterfeit checks and more than 30 debit cards in a vehicle during the suspects’ arrest.
U.S. Attorney Ellis Boyle highlighted that check fraud remains a persistent threat despite advances in financial technology.
