And the 4 in the 441 is a different font than the 4 in the 437.50.

If you take more than a blink to look at the amount in question, you can see right away that it has been altered. Specifically, the leading digits 441 are noticeably smaller than the rest of the digits.

This is a red-flag sign the stub was altered. Amateurishly. Any alert person such as a realtor checking a person’s means should have noticed this, especially considering the large amount on the stub.

Good that this fraud was discovered. Unsettling it wasn’t discovered much earlier.
