Beware Fraudulent Checks Claiming ARSA Payment
December 11, 2020
On Dec. 11, a woman in Jacksonville, Florida alerted ARSA that she had received a fraudulent check bearing the association’s name and bank account information. A second report from a man in Phoenix, Arizona followed shortly thereafter.
Individuals unrelated to ARSA had sent the checks along with convoluted instructions for deposit and use in payment for various services. The association does not issue checks or deposit funds in matters unrelated to its business.
The ARSA team is following up with the appropriate bank personnel and will continue to monitor all accounts. If you receive a check bearing the association’s name and question its validity, contact ARSA.
