When banks began to keep original checks, and return copies I became very upset. My bank was only sending a copy of the front of each check. So, after having been robbed, I asked my bank to send copies of both, front and back. I wanted to see where the checks were cashed.
When I had been robbed, the bank required an affidavit, which I provided in detail, hoping to help remove criminal activity from the community. I was told initially the bank would handle the problem with law enforcement, and the money replaced to my account.
A while later I inquired to find the sheriff had never been notified of the robbery by the bank, and rather startled, I asked an accountant to explain why. He explained it was probably cheaper for the bank to replace the money than to initiate charges against the con man with law enforcement. The problem was, this man was impersonating a DEA agent and law enforcement should have been extremely upset about it.
A few years later one of those mentioned in the affidavit was dead, his obituary appeared in the Lexington newspaper on September 9, 2005. He was called "Daddy Jack," by country music folks and was said to have promoted more than one local musician - all the way to Nashville.
A personal check is a legal document. The endorsed check provides much information on both sides. Because I'd purchased the original checks, there was no reason the bank couldn't return my originals, signatures intact. Bank savings by shredding originals is probably minimal, and the practice should be illegal.
I wanted to know where the thief had cashed my forged checks.
So when do Americans notify law enforcement?I'd asked my husband to notify Cobb County, Georgia police regarding our sons' victimization by a con man named Fred Grant. My husband refused, saying he "took care of Fred, himself."
I'd given Brunswick, NC police information regarding Amy Frink's murderer. Within six months my own son was reported dead.
My lawyer advised he believed my husband murdered our son, but advised not to involved police but to hire a private detective, instead.
What I found is while criminals walked free and continued their enterprises, I was the one who would be harassed, jailed, arrested, shackled, and ridiculed. It will never make any sense, but I won't stop blogging about it.
No other American Mother should ever have to suffer for trying to do the right thing. Raising children in this fickle society is challenge enough.

In recent years, there have been at least half a dozen cases of conmen in the UK (some have been US citizens, when their true identity finally unravelled) posing as MI5 officers, and at least one case of a genuine MI6 "source" committing murder and ID theft/fraud on the victim, using his status with MI6 as a shield.
One of the bogus MI5 "officers" managed to fool a number of Cambridgeshire Police officers, making regular visits to police stations as part of his scams. They were in the process of helping him stop a finance company repossess his car, in respect of about £30,000 he'd fiddled, when he made the mistake of claiming that his title of "commander" was a police rank before he joined MI5, rather than a naval rank.
Commander in the police is a chief officer rank, which means that holders are going to be in the registers of the police superintendents association and the Association of Chief Police Officers. He wasn't, and they finally nicked him. As long as they though it was the naval rank, like Commander Bond, they believed him. Had he left this bit vague, they would have gone on supplying their own explanation, which made more sense than the story he tried to spin!
It is therefore entirely possible, that bogus DEA and FBI "agents" not only fool members of the public, but sheriffs and even judges, too. They might even made repeated visits to police departments and build up "working relationships" with detectives over several years.
Medawar bets that there are regular readers of this blog in law-enforcement, who have contact with bogus federal agents and have never bothered to verify their credentials with the FBI.
Better to be embarrassed, than taken for a ride, or to the cleaners. It's not too late to check!
Thank you for your comment. This ongoing story is one of organized crime, drugs, and corruption at higher levels. The same organization has had power and enterprise for many years, crossing state lines, even ongoing decades.
If law enforcement took the ongoing story seriously and investigated, many of the witnesses would be dead before they could ever make it to any witness stand.
Several attached to this story have died already, some mysteriously.
Besides designing varying destruction methods for their enemies, it appears this organization uses the "witness elimination program" to remove threats to it's most valued and protected kingpins.
If America has any hope for deliverance from crime, then law enforcement will indeed, take these criminals out at the very core.
