Forgery? YES!

So, one or two of you may know what I'm talking about here but almost all of you don't. I'll make it short. I got a call today from a MoneyTree in Seattle (for those of you in places that don't have MoneyTree it is a check cashing and payday loan business). They cashed a check from me for $250.00 and almost (but refused) a check for some other amount......

here's the thing:

I DIDN'T WRITE THEM!

they were stolen.

That's right folks, I (the supreme trainer of how to prevent bank fraud) have been frauded. The worst part of the story is that I know who took them. And he sat in my house and ate my pizza and used my roommate's laptop FULL KNOWING that he had a book of my checks burning a hole in his pocket. MOTHER FUCKER!

I have not felt this violated since my car was stolen last year. Someone hold me.

I knew you were a corporate trainer, but I had no idea you train people to recognize fraud. The gods of irony are laughing their asses off at you today.

Not so much. Teaching how to detect fraud is pretty different from having someone commit fraud against you personally.

HST is wonderful and it's not ironic and there are no gods laughing.

But DAMN if that person isn't a MOTHER FUCKER.

HST said...

well that's not my only job joe, I multitask:) That is ONE of the things i teach. And lulu is right. Thank you for coming to my defense lulu, teaching someone how to catch fraud in a BANK is wayyyy different. be nice joe! why you gotta be mean to your concubine?

Joe said...

I was totally not being mean! I was merely drawing attention to the dark irony of the situation.

And snickering quietly.

Lulu said...

Joe. Stop snickering. Or else I won't share my Grape Nuts.

HST said...

Fuck sharing Lulu! I say we make him SWIM in a pool of grape nuts.
