Woman allegedly forges child support

Nov 30, 2014 News

A woman who decided to tamper with the monthly cheques that she receives by way of child support from her former spouse has been charged with two counts of forgery.
She appeared on Wednesday before Magistrate Rabindranauth Singh at the Whim Magistrate’s Court on two charges of forgery and was placed on $500,000.
Bhoojwattie Ramnarine, a mother of one, of No. 60 Village, Corentyne, Berbice is accused of forging two Bank of Guyana cheques.
It is alleged that between August 25 and August 26, 2014 at Springlands Corentyne, she forged cheque No. 04891506 for the sum of eighty thousand dollars, in favour of herself.
The other charge indicated that on September 22, she forged cheque No. 04891669 for the same amount and purpose.
According to the prosecution, the woman who is separated from the father of her child would receive $8,000 on a monthly basis for the child. She would receive a cheque whenever she goes to uplift the money.
After Ramnarine received the cheque for August she decided that the $8,000 was not enough and decided to place an additional zero at the end of the figure, making the number $80,000. She then successfully cashed the cheque. She repeated the act again in September.
Nothing was detected and effort to balance their account proved an arduous task since the book could not be balanced, until the cheques were reconciled with the bank.
Ramnarine, not suspecting that her scheme was detected turned up on Monday at the Whim Magistrate Court to uplift another cheque and was promptly arrested.
She is accused of embezzling a total of $144,000 over the two months. Investigations are ongoing and more charges are pending.
The matter will be called again on December 11, at the Springlands Magistrate Court where it has been transferred.
