Money is Missing
I need to vent. I am paid by my client through Quickbooks. We have not had any issues for several years of doing this. Recently, I was sent two “Bill Pays” stating that a “Payment is on the way…” All the information, including bank account number, was correct. The amounts are/were around $10k. That is a lot of money, especially for me. I waited until the date, and no money was deposited into my account. I called my client, and he said it shows that the money was deposited on the 22nd of November. I do not have it. I finally got my client to send me the account number and routing number of where it was sent. Neither was mine. And, the routing number was for a credit union for the Navy – The Navy Credit Union in Virginia. That is where it was sent. My client has no dealings with anybody in Virginia. Again, initially the information was correct. But then all of it changed. Why? Did someone hack into my client’s account? Why is NO ONE helping my colleague? He is now going to the local bank to see if he can get it reversed. Why is Quickbooks not taking any responsibility in this? I have done some research and have found that this has happened before. Quickbooks has deflected responsibility. Now, my client may may have to get a lawyer involved to figure out what happened. Is this a much larger problem than this one incident?
