Worthless Checks
Each year, local businesses lose tens of thousands of dollars because of bad checks that do not have sufficient funds to cover the amount of the purchase. As a result, businesses are often forced to increase their prices to cover the loss of revenue caused by these checks, which directly affects other customers. The losses can sometimes be so severe that a merchant may have to go out of business. Business owners lose their livelihoods and employees of the business lose their jobs - Check Fraud Division
