Charlotte plastic surgeon had $300K in checks stolen: How to prevent check washing
WBTV
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - A Charlotte business owner contacted WBTV after having hundreds of thousands of dollars in checks stolen from his business.
“We had actually put the checks in the mailbox outside of our office and just kind of didn’t think about it,” Dr. Garrett Harper, a plastic surgeon with Graper Harper Cosmetic Surgery, said.
A week later, Dr. Harper was scrolling through his business’ online banking when he noticed something that was off.
“I just kind of casually texted our accountant and said, ‘hey, did you end up writing this check to a patient for whatever reason?’” he said. “She said ‘no, but I did write that exact amount to the North Carolina Department of Revenue.’”
