We have a corporate customer that has had counterfeit checks drawn on their account. So far, the total is over $300,000.00, and fortunately, no loss has been suffered.

In filling out a SAR for this case, what do I use in Step 3, Subject information? What goes in there when we don't know who the fraudsters are?

Thanks for any help.

Have you ruled out the payees on the checks as subjects?
