A Tampa resident was convicted Thursday for forging a check for a fake investment. The Florida Office of Financial Regulation said that Eric Franz Peer pleaded guilty. He served 11 months in jail and will have to pay $18,000.

Peer marketed himself as an events coordinator. But an OFR investigation found that instead of using investor money for events, he used it for his personal expenses. If you think you were a victim of this, file a complaint at www.flofr.com or call (850) 487-9687.
