This morning a co-worker was on the phone to his bank, getting louder and angrier by the minute.
A while back he had sent a $10 donation to a charity.
He got his bank statement and it said the check was for $1000.
The photo copy of the check clearly showed that the $10.00 amount was crossed out and replaced above it with $1000.00
The photo copy also showed that "Ten and 00/100" was crossed out and replaced above with "One Thousand and 00/100"
The copy of the back of the check showed a personal signature of an individual instead of the payee on the front of the check.
The charity has no record of receiving a check from him.
They have no idea how it got cashed.
The bank offered to send him an affidavit to fill out.
They said that his account would be reimbursed for the $1000. It will take approximately 30 days after the affidavit is received.
What else should he do?
