Pest Control service that does our home had been seemingly Off Schedule recently, come to find out Someone in the town they reside had Checks made on their account, signed them for money to be sent to a Bank in S Texas with a somewhat Close to owner's signature, to the tune of $48,000.00

Uncertain if the business can handle the loss, bank and banking authorities as well US FBi working to figure out Who and to Whom the money was stolen by and for.  That and if ANY of it can be accounted for to be returned.

That happened to me years ago, but not on a commercial account, and not to anywhere near that amount ($600). Bank covered my loses. Only problem was, they knew who did it, but the bank wouldn't peruse it, and I could not press charges because I didn't suffer a loss (since the bank covered my loses).
I am still confident of this;
I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27

Banks are not being very careful about looking at signatures on checks. The last incident I was involved with the checkbook was stole in a brief case with other documents. The person who lost the brief case was more concerned about the insurance papers lost, and forgot the check book of the none profit group was in the case.  So they had 48 hours before anyone was looking. But no attempt was made forge the correct signature. They just put John Henry, or something on the checks it at big box stores. Since one small purchase worked the next day they went $1000 worth. It was being processed when the alert was sent out, so did not clear.


On Red Power forum a report of checks sent to CaseNewHolland credit are being stolen and bleached/washed so they can be made  for larger amounts to individual's and banks giving out cash. From enough people reporting seem it must at CNH rather than a local post office.
