The family that scams together, stays in the slam together
A Wellington family was arrested for running an organized scheme to defraud. It paid pretty well, too- over $100,000 last year. The father, John J. Black Jr., his wife, Tonya Michelle Black, and their daughters, Tekeashia and Turonda, who all live in the same home in the 7700 block of Rockport Circle in Wellington, were all arrested and booked into the Palm Beach County Jail.
The “check kiting” scheme defrauded at least ten banks and eight retail stores. It involved opening bank accounts with bad checks, and then writing checks with the new bank account. They reportedly opened over 20 different bank accounts, even using their two youngest daughters who are only 6 and 12-years-old.
