283. An intent to defraud is presumed to exist if it appears at the time when the false document was made there was in existence a specific person ascertained or unascertained capable of being defrauded thereby, and this presumption is not rebutted by proof that the offender took or intended to take measures to prevent such person from being defrauded in fact, nor by the fact that the person had or thought that person had a right to the thing obtained by the false document.
