Time Warner won’t investigate brand fraud

In my previous blog, I wrote about Fred Gomez who received a fraudulent check made out in the name of Time Warner for $35,100. It’s a new take on a check cashing scam. Had Gomez cashed that check and forwarded the funds like his “employer” suggested, he’d be in trouble with Bank of America, the issuer, and the law, because the check is fraudulent. Gomez has sent me countless emails expressing dismay over the fact that law enforcement would not investigate. I was hoping that Time Warner would. But here’s Time Warner’s response to me: “Thanks for sending me the link. We don’t comment on security issues such as these. I hope you understand.” No I don’t understand. Gomez and I have vital evidence their fraud team could use. And knowing what I know about Internet investigations, I’d like to think that a company such as Time Warner would like to see that evidence. Guess I was wrong. So now, I wonder, how many more Time Warner checks are being circulated to defraud people of their money and get them in trouble with the law? I’m willing to bet Fred Gomez is not the only recipient of such a check.
