A person commits a deceptive practice when, with intent to defraud, there is an intent to obtain control over property or to pay for property, labor or services of another, or in satisfaction of an obligation for payment of tax under the Retailers Occupational Tax Act or any other tax due to the state, he issues or delivers the check or other order upon a real or fictitious depository for the payment of money, knowing that it will not be paid by the depository. Failure to have sufficient funds or credit with the depository when the check or other order is issued or delivered, or when such check or other order is presented for payment and dishonored on each of two occasions at least seven days apart, is prima facia evidence that the offender knows that it will not be paid by the depository, and that he has the intent to defraud.
