While organizing my storage space, I came across a bag someone who I was once close to gave me when returning an item.
I guess they forgot to remove some paperwork at the bottom of the bag and I found a deposit denial notification addressed to them.
It noted a reverse for a 1200 dollar sum from their account following a deposit. The reason for denial was that the name stated on the pay to order portion didn't match the endorsement signature. A copy of said check was attached; it was an economic relief payment check from someone who previously lived in the apartment this ex-acquaintance was living in.
Would this be considered check fraud or attempt to commit check fraud? If not, what applicable crime would this be characterized as?
What federal and/or state authority can I refer this matter to? Can it be done anonymously? This person has criminal associations and I don't wish to be subject to their potential reprisals.
