Building
Support and Involvement begins with knowing the histories and
background of each ORC Association. With our
'Fight For 20' campaign to get the remaining 20 states to create
and pass ORC legislation, we need to build the case for the
legislators to be able to visit the
ORC Resource
Center and learn about the biggest and most indepth
collabroative effort in the history of Law Enforcement and Retail.
With over 10,000 involved
across the nation this is the biggest effort ever and your
association's history and effort could play a vital role in helping
legislators get to know the true extent of this epidemic.
So if you haven't written
yours, or if you have an update, please get it in to us and we'll
publish it and help spread the word. We have a state
legislator initiative planned for July and August that will
touch the vast majority of state legislators throughout the states
that don't have ORC laws presently.
Education is the key and
your association's history is a critical part of the process. Let's
get 20 more state ORC laws. It's up to you.

More than $120K in
checks cashed as part of Pittsburgh-Philadelphia counterfeit ring; 39
Warrants issued
An investigation is underway
into a counterfeit check cashing ring that spans from Pittsburgh to
Philadelphia, in which the culprits have gotten away with more than
$120,000, according to police paperwork. A total of 39 warrants have been
filed for people in connection with the scheme. According to the documents,
a Munhall police officer was investigating counterfeit checks being drawn
off the district court's bank account for Munhall, Homestead and West
Homestead. In all, 22 checks, totaling more than $24,000, were cashed. A man
tried to cash one of the checks in Philadelphia, where he was arrested and
started talking to investigators. Officers realized the man was involved in
a "much larger" counterfeit check ring, and a pattern emerged. Documents
detail how fake checks were made just after legitimate checks with account
numbers were cashed at a Pittsburgh area Ace Check Cash Express.
Investigators went through surveillance videos of banks and other stores,
finding 39 suspects.
