Default Re: Got Scammed!

I just did a Google search after reading this and it seems like this scam is running pretty rampant and has been for over a month which kind of annoys me that most of the banks have not red flagged the company name and phone number associated to it. Hell, my last employer toward the end was bouncing checks all over town and the country and most of the major banks red flagged them so it got to the point where I made them pay me in cash because my bank would not take their checks any more. From the few pages I read it seems most peoples banks are even giving them the run around about cancelling the checks even though it is a documented scam.
Also you would think if your bank issues you the checks and knows the mailing address printed on them that if the check that came in didn't match it would automatically raise a red flag for them and stop payment and investigate it but I guess that is just the mentality nowadays. I would think there would be some kind of simple verification process to avoid scams like this especially in the day and age of identity theft. I did however double check my account after reading this post. Sorry for your troubles but thanks for the heads up nonetheless.
