ATHENS, Ohio – A Pennsylvania man in a Nigerian check scam last year, was charged with passing $215,000 in phony checks on Ohio University CU. Thoma Terry allegedly passed three forged checks on the credit union, the largest one for $110,305. The credit union and its insurer, CUNA Mutual Group, are also suing Terry in civil court over the payments. Terry was involved with two others in a so-called Nigerian check scheme last year in which they convinced a local sportswriter to pay $30,000 to enable them to get access to a $250,000 payment.
