If someone cashes counterfit payroll checks at their own financial institution "against" their own account (i.e. putting their own account number on the back) and using their real name, and they are caught, does the institution HAVE to notify the authorities?
I'm currently aware of a situation where someone got ahold of some "fake" payroll checks, put his name on them, signed them and put his account number on them, and cashed them at his local branch.
Apparently they cashed the checks, later to find them counterfit and they froze the account... but that is all.
I would have figured that the Fed's would be pounding on his door by now, but apparently the institution is just sitting on them, waiting for him to pay them back the money.
He banks at a Credit Union if that makes a difference.
And no, its not me... I may be broke, but I'm not stupid. lol.
It is honestly a friend of a friend that I've met maybe twice in two years.
I'm more curious than anything.
