Large Scale Fake-Check Cashing By Young Women Happened Today

[Delta6Echo]

So I was in the office today with my boss and his assistant. Just after lunch time, someone called and asked for some verifications. She's the teller at a citibank branch. There were two young women were trying to cash the checks supposed to be from my company. This didn't sound right so we told her to fax it. It turned out that the checks are fake. They missed a letter in the company name, but everything else looked real, routing number, account number, even my boss's signature. That misspelling made the teller suspicious. Good thing she called, and we happened to work today.

So she said the girls were still there, we asked if she could report to the police and get those girls arrested. Well obviously they could not.

After 30 minutes, another citibank branch called in. Same story, different girls. My boss talked to the bank and let them lock the account immediately. Good move indeed. Before I left at 3 PM, there were two more branches called in. All these branches located around 1st Ave and 14th St. It's always two women to go into one branch. The funny thing is at one branch the two women were waiting in the queue, then a third woman came in, those two gestured to the newcomer to leave for the other branches.

I don't know how many women were out today but according to the bank, there were several branches already cashed the checks in the morning.

I don't have the evidence but I think this is related to those legal immigrants we hired before. They did some temporary survey work and we paid them checks. Most of those people are old guys. But there is always an underworld in any community.

You mean you sold out your country to a bunch of illegals, then complained about how they tried to defraud you? Why not hire someone who is actually doing everything by the book (i.e. paying license fees, taxes and insurance)

Serves you right. Next time you will think long and hard about hiring people just to save a quick buck.

Why not?

QFT...in the 'old days' (like 10+ years ago) the security guard would have detained them even.

Did you miss the part immediately following where he said they were paid with checks from their company? Maybe he should've made it it more obvious and said "they were the only ones we paid with checks recently" or something similar.

Bullshit. Maybe you missed the part that he said he has 0 evidence but still pins the crime on the immigrants.
Just because his company paid some legal immigrants with checks, it's by default that the immigrants are behind the crime?

Maybe it is true or maybe not, you can't just accuse someone based on speculation and no evidence.

He didn't accuse, he speculated, and that is exactly what you do when you have no evidence.

Maybe the OP made a slip-up but reading fail on your part right now.

...legal immigrants we hired before...

Damn straight. Native Americans started noticing this a couple of hundred years ago and more.

Whenever there was a wholesale slaughter of their kith and kin, a bogus large scale land grab, or a treaty worth less than a Packard Bell lifetime warranty, it was always those pesky white immigrants at the root of it all.

Damn immigrants. :awe:

@dark: He said "legal immigrants". If they are legal, then the point of them being immigrants would be moot. Don't forget the fact that nearly EVERYONE in the US is an immigrant (first generation and on).

If you have a work permit, you are automatically considered "legal". It sounds to me like OP is trying to make his company look like the victims, when in fact, their situation is a result of their own attempt to save money.

lol, mute

Moot, not mute.

You bumped this just to show your ignorance?

We LOVE MUTE POINTS IN ATOT!!!
Irregardless of whether you like them or not, you should of left this thread alone. For all in tents and porpoises it was fine before.

Wish OP would come back and explain why the bank wouldn't call the police. If you have the fax of the fake checks from the bank, go to the police and bank management, I'm sure both would love to hear this.

OK I am back. I didn't have time the last two days.
I did not expect my words made so many ppl excited on the "immigrants" part. What I said is we hired LEGAL immigrants instead of saving money on illegal workers and somehow the information was leaked to underground. I did not say all the immigrants are criminal, did I? Some ppl here said racial words to me, but I am not that excited. I am not born here, my English is not as good as most of you guys. I know that. So what? The whole thing has nothing to do with my English or status.

If you at least read some detective novels, you will have some thoughts on this scam.

Why did not the bank call the police? The branch manager told us on Saturday that they had to file the report to the police, and it took time. They could not just call the police to arrest people. In fact the girls just fled the scene leaving their IDs behind which I think are fake too.
The company has to report to the police. That's what we did.

I hope this explains clearly because my English is so bad I don't even know how I wok in USA.

Thanks.

Moral of the story:

Companies - always use that cache of checks with the misspelled company name to pay your employees.

I call b.s. on the bank manager. Sounds like he/she is a pussy. They were trying to commit fraud. I'd be changing banks if this is their policy.

What would the manager do if they were robbed at gunpoint? "I gotta file a report."

Report manager to bank.
If the bank cashed any of the fake checks, the bank will be left holding the bill for it ... it is in THEIR interest to catch the perps.
Credit card companies, for example, are extremely aggressive about catching credit card fraudsters ... way more so than the police!
