Check fraud? Suspicious activity with my checks - need advice ASAP!

Ugh, sorry to hear that. Can you give us more details? Are you talking about unemployment checks or regular paychecks? Have you noticed any suspicious activity on your account?

I've been there before, and it suuucks. 😫 First thing you should do is freeze your credit reports ASAP. Better safe than sorry!

Sounds like you might be dealing with some identity theft. I'd recommend checking your credit report for any suspicious activity and filing a police report if you find anything weird.

Hey, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone about this kind of stuff. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works.

Listen up, folks. If you're dealing with check fraud or any kind of financial shenanigans, here's what you need to do: 1. Contact your bank immediately. Let them know what's going on and ask them to put a hold on your account if necessary. 2. File a police report. This creates an official record of the incident. 3. Check your credit reports from all three major bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). Look for any accounts or activity you don't recognize. 4. Set up fraud alerts with the credit bureaus. This makes it harder for someone to open new accounts in your name. 5. Consider freezing your credit. It's free and provides an extra layer of protection. 6. Keep detailed records of everything. Write down who you talked to, when, and what they said. 7. If it's a government check (like unemployment or tax refund), contact the issuing agency directly. 8. Change ALL your passwords. Use strong, unique passwords for each account. 9. Be patient but persistent. Resolving fraud can take time, but don't let up. Remember, the sooner you act, the better your chances of resolving this without major damage. Good luck!

have you tried turning it off and on again? 🤣

The whole system is broken, man. I've been dealing with check issues for months and can't get anyone to help me. It's like shouting into the void. 😤
