One of my corporation was a victim to a scam that was run from Canada. Someone copied my corporate checks which was with Frost Bank and sent checks all over the country to unsuspected individuals informed them of a $55,000. prize that they have won. The check that was mailed out with this announcment was for $3,200.00 made on one of my corporation. The scammer requested the sum of $2,800. from the receiver of the check for handling the balance of $51,800. to be sent to the winner. Before we discovered the scam, we had a balance in the account that would have covered the check, so if anyone called Frost and asked for the validity of the check, whoever answered the phone call and given the information on the check would have said that the check was good. When these checks came to Frost for payments they check the signature and becaome suspicious. They called me and asked me if I issued these checks (And they came in large numbers) I immediately suspected a scam and with Frost closed the account and opened another account with a different account number. Frost might be accused of other issues but not with association with this scam.
