First Protection Aid
Took $377 from my Bank account with a counter check with "guarantee" signature

As I was looking at my online bank account, I noticed a check numbered in the 7000's for an amount of $377. First, I only write one check per month, so this sent a warning signal to me. The check did not require a signature by me as it was a "guarantee" signature. The company is First Protection Aid. I found by searching the internet that I am not the first person who has had their account number and name used to get this sum of money. I had to close my bank account and open a new account. There is an investigation going on now but I will have to wait 45 to 60 days before I even get my money back. People beware and watch your bank account daily. If you can catch it in time, you can call your bank and stop it. Better yet, Call you bank immediately and tell them not to accept checks that have not been signed by you, guarantee signature or not. Especially if they are for $377.
