most check fraud cases you don't have a suspect
and most would not meet the threshold

but isn't there a benefit to send at least one SAR per situation so that law enforcement is aware of he extent to that particular crime.

seems I read that we should but have not found anything anywhere. any suggestions?

At the request of the FBI, we recently filed a SAR on items drawn on us created by Qchex. Due to the number of items we had received, we easily met the threshhold, using a cumulative total.

Do you really want to bog down the system for every little item that may be present, such as a $214 item?

Why not just send the information to local law enforcement and let them deal with it? Again, as happygilmore stated, you were "advised" to file. At this point you know there is more going on....

As happygilmore noted, there have been many fraudulent checks created on Qchex, and there was a recent FDIC notice about this company.
