Police said it appears the person received a falsified invoice, which meant payment was made to an account not belonging to the company providing the work.
The matter was reported to police on March 6.
Murray River Police District Inspector Paul Huggett encouraged people to “double check, or triple check” bank account details before making any payments.
He said you should contact the company or institution directly to check the details if you’re unsure.
Motorbike crash
A 65 year-old Deniliquin man has been treated at Deniliquin Hospital after being involved in a motorcycle crash.
Police said the man was riding on Aratula Rd North when he lost control of the motorbike at about 1pm on March 10.
The bike collided with a bush, forcing the motorcycle to crash and the rider to fall off.
Ambulance paramedics transferred the driver to Deniliquin Hospital where he was treated for soreness to the ribs.
Credit card missing
Police again remind locals to lock and secure their belongings after a credit card was stolen and used earlier this week.
The card was reportedly left inside an unlocked car parked in Noyes St, Deniliquin, between 9pm on Sunday and 7am Monday.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 5881 2922 or CrimeStoppers on 1300 333 000.
