Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
My father received a solicitation for a $14 contribution to be listed in this company’s directory. The day his check cleared, a second, counterfeit check for $1825 was also deposited from his account to this company (using the account number and routing number of the original check). A little over a month later another counterfeit check for was deposited by the same company, again using my father’s account info to steal an addition $3250. I had to close my father’s account. The bank (Chase) refuses to take responsibility or action, claiming that the original check $14 check serves as authorization.
