Not sure how all of this happened, but our work has a normal "disbursement" checking accout that roughly $1.5M goes through a week.

Some a-holes used one of our checks to get the routing number and account number.... then printed a bunch of them.... sent them to old idiots who actually tried to cash them...ahaha... old people are stupid.

there was a "final winning notice" letter with the checks which stated....here is your check for $4,855 to pay the applicable taxes........ please send us back $2,950 by MONEYGRAM or WESTERN UNION for the taxes.....

So now I have to monitor the f'ing bank account to decline these checks..... .... dickholes...... Luckily our bank was on top of this shit since we send a file with all the check numbers and names..... these didn't match up.....duh.

 

Assholes committing check fraud =

Scot having to actually do some work =

 

wow that sucks now you have some work to do! haha

 

we've had a few cheques altered recently....not sure how they're getting their hands on them...postal system probably.

the lifting of the original payee info is first class, but the re-application of the new payee is shoddy.

Bring the ruckus

 

Luckily (sort of) we had some other a-hole lift the ink and put his own name down about 6 months ago..... the credit union where he banked figured it out for us..... that caused us to start using this "positive payee" thing that the bank offers, which saved our asses on this Lottery bullshit.

These guys have letterhead from St. Catherine, Ontario.... Luckily one of the old idiots who went to the bank to cash the check had the LOTTERY winning letter with her.... so they took it and faxed it to me..... the lady was pretty pissed......

freaking cheating Candians....

 

wow forgery is a felon and i think you can do 10 years

 

Does this mean Scot will be taking a few days break from s2ki?

I'm assuming closing down the bank account is not really an option since it's so big?

Also, what is the positive payee thing? How does it work?

 

I am 100% for shutting down the account but for some reason my boss and the bank don't want to. It is dumb not to in my opinion because the positive payee thing requires me (or someone) to go in daily and approve any (or decline) any check that doesn't match the file we send to the bank when we write checks.

if I miss a day of work or someone else forgets to check, we could have these fake checks actually go through our account.....

I am going to push to shut the account down, especially if these checks continue to stream in......

Not sure what the authorities can do to track down who set up this goofyass scam...
