NorCal Couple Scammed Of $18,000 From Fake Checks And Online Payments
A retired Northern California couple is speaking out after scammers allegedly drained nearly $18,000 from their checking account through a combination of counterfeit checks and unauthorized online payments, setting off a weeks-long battle to recover their money, according to ABC 7.

According to the couple, many of the payments were directed to accounts with Verizon, Capital One, and Wells Fargo that had no connection to them.
The report says that they immediately reported the fraud to Chase and closed the compromised checking account. The b...
