It is unlawful for any person, with intent to cheat and defraud, to obtain, or attempt to obtain, from any person any money, property, or valuable thing by means of any false or bogus check, or by any other written or printed, or engraved, instrument or spurious coin. The term FALSE OR BOGUS CHECK shall include checks or orders given for money or property which are not honored on account of insufficient funds of the maker to pay the same, as against the maker or drawer thereof. The making, drawing, issuing, or delivering of a check, draft, or order, payment of which is refused by the drawee, shall be prima facie evidence of intent to defraud and the knowledge of insufficient funds in, or credit with, such bank or other depository. Such maker or drawer shall not have paid the drawee the amount due thereon, together with the protest fees, and the check or order shall be presented for payment within 30 days after the same is delivered and accepted.
