First of all I like to thank you for the opportunity to request your assistance your very helpful organization

On XXXX XXXX XXXX I wrote a check  number XXXX from my chase bank account for XXXX  for XXXX  payable to prime locations that was for my maintenance for my appointment at my address in XXXX XXXX  New York what happened was the check was intercepted and stolen as far as we can figure out it was washed altered and deposited in basically a criminal's account from XXXX it was changed to XXXX it was deposited on  XXXX account number XXXX in the name of Michael raudules  the check was paid
on XXXX XXXX XXXX I realized that the check was not delivered to the recipient by contacting them and advising them had you received my check i yet, I'm XXXX XXXX XXXX  and my family especially my son XXXX  was helping me try to resolve the problem, I contacted Chase Bank  on XXXX XXXX XXXX     and spoke to the representatives advising them that the check had not been received &that the post office had advised her that there have been repeated repeated break Ins to the green post office transfer box in front of a building at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX even though,  they advised me to give it some more time repeatedly, I advised them sending checks in the past it was a few days this was 10 days old now I was very suspicious, finally the check was cashed on the 28th I realize that what my statement was received in the second week of XXXX XXXX I contacted them immediately and advise them that a XXXX check it came in what they did IN PAST was they had me link my account to another account they advised me this was a sensible thing to do this cause a catastrophe, there was insufficient funds in my account ending at XXXX and they passed it to my much larger account advising me that the linking was always don't forget I'm XXXX  years old and I did not realize it was a XXXX  foolish, that left me a tremendous harm and somehow benefit the bank it didn't benefit me in anyway and was a very cruell thing to do to a senior citizen
