An 86-year-old Anniston resident told police he was bilked out of $19,090 after a contractor inflated the amount on his checks.
The resident of the 2200 block of Briarcliffe Road said he hired a man to do minor repair work around his house, reported Anniston police.
Between March 25 and April 1, the resident paid the man by way of four checks, each averaging $50 to $100, said police.
According to investigators the man altered the amounts of the checks up so that they totaled $19,090.
Investigators said they have identified a suspect in the case but he was not in custody Wednesday afternoon.
