Andrea Wetherholt, Bad Checks

This is mainly a warning to everyone. A person claiming to be named Andrea Wetherholt from South Shore, KY sent us a personal check for supplies totaling $109.22. The check is dated Sept 21, 04. The items were shipped Sept 30, 04 and recieved Oct 6, 04. The check was returned stamped "Account Closed" and recived back by us today Oct 18, 04. I tried calling the number on the check and it was disconnected. I called the bank the check was written on and they said the account had been closed for almost a year.
Daniel had been in a hurry and processed the order without verifying funds first (He's already been scolded for it).
According to UPS, the person who signed for the package is MC Boy.

If anyone else has had any contact with this person, or done business with this person, please let us know.

Thank you

I had soemthing similar happen recently but my buyer signed his name Bruce Lee.

Stinks!

to say the least. I would try to get a letter from the bank indicating that the account has been closed for a year. Certainly bring that evidence to the attention of the authorites in your state as well as her. What a loser!

The authorities were notified before I posted and have collected all paperwork involved. Because of the $$ amount, it is most likely that nothing will be done, unless they find out that there are more complaints out there reguarding the same person.

The account has been closed so long that it is possible the person writing the checks isn't even the person whose name is on the checks.

I already tried to "notify" the person, the phone number has been disconnected.

As I previously stated, this is more of a warning....a "heads up" if you see the name.

Thank you for all your help though.

If this person actually lives in Kentucky you should be able to get the money back. I would find out what county the person lives in (according to the shipping address) and report it to the county clerk in that county. Kentucky has very strict laws on writing bad checks and will find the person for you and not only get your money back, but fine them heavily no matter what amount the check is. If the person refuses to cooperate they can be jailed. I know that it works, I have had to chase down a few people who wrote bad checks. Often they have done it to several other people as well.

I just found this website by googling the name Andrea Wetherholt. I too was scammed out of merchandise total amount $100. The check was returned closed account. Anyone have more info on how to get in touch with this person? I am in New York and it is a Kentucky address. I still have the envelope this person used to mail the check. We are already dealing with interstate fraud because the US Mail was used to send the money. Have any of you tried contacting ther police in that vacinity? What county is South Shore KY located in?
Thanks,
Mark Adkins

Actually, that stands for "Met Customer, Boy." They did not get a signature or name and just handed the package off to a juvenile.

The Greenup County Attorneys Office (Kentucky) is compiling a case towards this person. Please call them at 1-606-473-7855 and get your information to them. They will attempt to recover your funds. No gaurantees obviously, but better than being shortchanged.
