The boss was using checks from QuickBooks, but was not using their software. He had one of the employees make him a template spreadsheet to line up the fields on the check for his printer.
Whatever he was doing exactly I’m not 100% sure, but he was definitely cooking the books all the way around.
I just dug a bit deeper looking into it, apparently it falls under the category of fake check overpayment scam…
