Regarding my earlier post about the suspicious cashier's check I received. I just contacted the main branch of "Border Tust" Bank, in South China, Maine and have confirmed that the document I received is a counterfeit.
The routing and account number on the forged document are as follows: 011400485 110747. The check number is 412115. The Remitter is Evolve Ent Inc. The "Authorized Signature" is Darrell Blanton".
The correct routing number for Border Trust is 011201115.
I spoke with Carol Gray @ 1(207) 445-4865. She advised me to please fax her a copy of the fake document. Further, she confirmed that they have received many calls regarding additional counterfeit documents...all using the fake ABA routing number.
Though she was able to assist me in confirming that the document I received is counterfeit, she advised that she is not the person within their institution who is handling this matter with the authorities.
In addition to confirming my suspicion about the check, I was advisd that the person who was passing these checks was allegedly in custody. The name he used while online with eBay was Charles Stergios. The "ship to" address he provided was "Evolve Ent"- A25 Juniper Street Yarmouth, Maine 04096. Again, he started "buying" items online on the 16th of May, 2003 & began sending out these checks on or around the 18th or 19th. On eBay, he was attempting to buy from about 25 to 30 different sellers, myself included.
I hope this information if helpful.
