'Check washing' cost Cleveland attorney thousands of dollars, and he's not alone

Attorney Richard Herman is scrolling through Reddit, looking for other check washing victims like himself. "After we reported this in December, another check went through in January." Herman says thieves "checked washed" his business checking account with Fifth Third Bank, gaining access to almost $7,000 from his account. Check washing occurs when thieves steal checks from mailboxes and mail carriers and use common household cleaning products such as bleach or acetone to remove all the information on the check — except for the signature. They then change payee names and dollar amounts to deposit the checks into their own account. Herman says he flagged Fifth Third of the problem, telling them his account was being check washed "We told Fifth Third about," he recalled, "and they basically said, 'Don't worry about it. We're on top of it.'" Then, in December, Herman was "hit with seven or eight checks." It happened again the next month. When he got no results from Fifth Third, he sent a letter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown's office, and the CEO of Fifth Third.
