You are a company owner or representative and a cheque from your company has been altered and cashed. Here are the steps you need to take to protect yourself.
Remember - your cheque was used to perpetrate a scam such as the mystery shopper scam, the lottery scam, the inheritance scam, etc. The person who cashed the cheque will be held responsible by the bank to return the funds to them. In all instances, the bank is the victim of the cheque fraud, not you.
If you believe your cheques were compromised through the mail system you may also wish to contact Canada Post online or at 1-800-267-1177.
