How to report a company for fraud in California or New Jersey?
I recently donated to a few high school students regarding a scholarship program to pay up to $20,000 for their education if they accumulated a certain amount of points over other students. For each magazine you order, the child would receive so many points. One child I did not order points from and instead gave the services a $21.00 donation. When the check went through the bank, it had been altered for $71.00. I compared it to the copy in my checkbook and could see how letters and numbers had tried to be changed. My bank is disputing the charges, but I chose to contact the company that was sending these children out. I told them I had cancelled all checks I had written to them and that I needed them to contact me about this situation or I was reporting their company for fraud. They’ve never contacted me, so I’m reporting them. The donation was made in California, but the company is in New Jersey. For this kind of situation, where do I go to report for fraud?
You should Start with your local Police Dept. since the group is operating locally and You probably aren’t the only person “hit”. See if they have a “Fraud Division”.
Most likely they will refer You to the FBI as well since it’s an Interstate issue.
