DEER PARK, Long Island --A Long Island business owner had the check for her quarterly taxes mysteriously stolen and cashed -- and when she couldn't get reimbursed, she turned to Nina Pineda and 7 On Your Side.
But she said what happened to the check she wrote to pay quarterly taxes for her Deer Park Company, Long Island Coatings, was inexcusable. For half a year she's been trying to get the money back for the check made out to the U.S. Treasury for $4,917."How could they have cashed that check when it was, you know, fraudulently signed with a fake account number," she said.
She couldn't get her own money unclogged in the pipeline between the banks, despite affidavits and month of emails -- then she got an alarming letter that they were going to close the claim and her funds wouldn't be delivered.
