Hello.I have a company with a pretty generic name (ABC)Someone has been stealing checks out of my mailbox and depositing them into a Harris Bank Account (I do not HAVE a Harris account). I am assuming they have a very similar company name because... uh... I haven't the faintest clue of how this could be happening otherwise.Couple things.(1) At the present time, they have stolen over $4,000. Not a big deal but enough to annoy me. I have copies of the back of the deposited checks (I called my customer's and asked for them). What will happen to them once I report this?(2) Who is going to pay me back? Isn't this the banks fault - depositing checks to a company account that are under a different company name (assuming this is what is happening).I'm not concerned about identity theft.. yada yada. My records are checked and clean. I also am 99% sure of who is doing this (and they have an EXTREMELY similar company name to mine).. Created by sunflower. politics-government-en - law-ethics-en

... Checks being stolen and deposited under a very similar name?

Hello.

I have a company with a pretty generic name (ABC)

Someone has been stealing checks out of my mailbox and depositing them into a Harris Bank Account (I do not HAVE a Harris account). I am assuming they have a very similar company name because... uh... I haven't the faintest clue of how this could be happening otherwise.

Couple things.

(1) At the present time, they have stolen over $4,000. Not a big deal but enough to annoy me. I have copies of the back of the deposited checks (I called my customer's and asked for them). What will happen to them once I report this?

(2) Who is going to pay me back? Isn't this the banks fault - depositing checks to a company account that are under a different company name (assuming this is what is happening).

I'm not concerned about identity theft.. yada yada. My records are checked and clean. I also am 99% sure of who is doing this (and they have an EXTREMELY similar company name to mine).

You need to go to the bank and report it. The next time they come in to cash one of your checks they will be arrested. Legal action will be taken and Im pretty certain you will get your money back. In the mean time, get a PO BOX. What they are doing is a federal offense (bank/check fraud).
