Two Choctaw Women Indicted For Buying Stamps With Fraud Checks

Infamous twin sisters known nationwide for conning churches are now accused of running a ruse in Central Oklahoma.

Birdie Jo and Becky Jo Hoaks, 47, have been linked to a string of scams, cons and crimes in the U.S, yet they somehow slip through the system and move on to another scheme.

Their latest con is outlined in an indictment from a federal grand jury in the Western District of Oklahoma.

The Hoaks' sisters are accused of opening several checking accounts and depositing only small amounts of cash ranging from $5 to $200.

The government accuses them of conspiring to write hot checks for thousands of dollars worth of U.S. postage stamps.
