I received 4 checks w/affidavits that claim all are forged endorsements. My question is... According to law, am I obligated to withdraw the money from my customer's account to pay these checks? All of the checks were cashed between September and December of 2002. I am not unfamiliar with the process of mail returns, however I never had one come back from this long. Thanks.

You might try posting this in the Operations or General forums rather than the Watercooler. You're liable to only get sarcastic feedback or an invitation to have a virtual drink here!!

Sorry-my mistake i am a first time poster.

Not a problem - and welcome!

Welcome rybijn! Since we're talking about forged checks at the water cooler...

Two forged checks walk into a bar. They sit down at the bar, and one gets stuck between the bar and the stool. Try as it may, it cannot pry itself free. The bartender says to the other check, "What's wrong with your buddy?" The check replies, "Oh, don't worry about that! It's just a bad counter fit!"

OK, groan freely, folks...

LMAO Jac! that was so bad

You know, Jac, I wouldn't have found that funny 2 years ago, now that I'm up to my receding hair line in counterfeit checks, I laughed out loud. Hmmmmm. Hysteria has arrived.

But was your hairline receding two years ago?

Good point......not as quickly as it seems to be now.
