A Salisbury man spotted a fraud when he read Saturday’s paper. Rasheek Tyrell Sankey was listed in Saturday’s Post as having been charged with impaired driving on Oct. 14. Sankey called the Salisbury Police Department Monday to inform police that he hadn’t been driving his car that day.

According to Sankey, on Oct. 14 he let a friend, Carlos Lamont Elder, borrow his car. Elder, 27, was pulled over that day at the 1800 block of West Innes Street and did not have his driver’s license with him. So he told the officer he was Sankey. When Sankey asked Elder why he’d given the wrong name, Elder allegedly replied that he didn’t have the money to pay for a DWI charge. Sankey reported him to the police.

Elder was charged Wednesday with obtaining property by false pretenses, identity theft, and larceny by servants and other employees — all felonies. He has been placed under a $5,000 secured bond.

Another man reported a fraud Tuesday, when an internet deal went bad. The man reported that he was shopping online for used golf carts.

His search began on Craigslist, but eventually led him to ebay, where he found a listing for a cart. Interested parties were asked to contact the seller for more information.

According to the report, the seller told the man the cart was $2,000, and asked him to purchase four Green Dot cards at $500 each. After he’d purchased the cards and given the seller the numbers, the man realized it was a scam and called Green Dot’s customer service. He was told that the cards had been activated, but that no transactions had occurred. They were able to cancel the cards.
