Worldcolor Helps Thwart Fake Checks

DARTMOUTH, NOVA SCOTIA—A Worldcolor employee and several recipients of fraudulent checks face possible theft charges in Canada, according to the Halifax Chronicle Herald. The checks, which totaled more than $240,000, were frozen by court order.

Worldcolor was alerted by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce to a series of checks that were being issued to individuals and not companies, and that were for large amounts. One of the alleged recipients has the same last name and address of a clerk in the printer's accounts payable department.
