One Fake Company Check Was Paid and Two More Were Tried, Then Police Traced the Money to His Account

A Pennsylvania man is facing fraud and forgery charges after police say a counterfeit business check put money into his bank account and two additional fake checks were later rejected. According to FOX56, investigators traced proceeds from the counterfeit check to De Mesa’s account and later interviewed him about his alleged role in moving the money. An Audit Found a Counterfeit Company CheckThe investigation began in early July after an audit by Abbey Road Control uncovered a counterfeit check drawn against the company’s business account. Butler Township police said the check had already resulted in proceeds being paid before the suspected fraud was identified. Investigators subsequently learned that two additional checks had been presented for payment using the company’s account information.
