Kalona, IA | Jay, You have an idea that sounds like it could be a prosperous new form of entertainment!! I'd sure watch it and would maybe even join in for a stint , to get back on all the scammers that are out there;)
I had over $32,000 stolen from me in forged checks this summer! I bought a corn head on Auction Time and sent a check to the Implement store that sold it. I sent the check from my Son's house in IN as we traveled there he day after I bought it . Somewhere along the line my envelope got stolen with my check in it as the Dealership said they never got it.
So I sent another check from my house and they soon had it and about the same time the 1st check got deposited but it was a "copy" similar to the 1st original check but a different recipient name. Several days later 2 more forged checks were charged to my account with different names etc!
My bank has been able to reimburse my acct. for the last 2 fraudulent checks but the1st original check has still not been reimbursed. They say that just need to be patient. Whew, sure was an eye-opener to what can happen so easily!!
