Help with Possible Fraud with IME Chicago Scrap Yard & Nova Metals / Nova Smelting

Dealing with bounced checks is one of the more distasteful parts of being in business. It does come with the territory. Very easy to loose your cool and go off on a wild tangent.

Man you got that right. I had to deal with this in my old business from time to time. The bigger the city the individual is in, the less likely the authorities would be willing to do anything about it. I had a lawyer hounding a business in Las Vegas and he changed addresses. I had his new address, and it was a slightly different company name and he just gave up because he knew that was standard operating procedure with the guys who know how to work the system.

Don't even get me started on the bankruptcy system. I chased several people into that maze and it really is NOT set up to get you your money. It is set up to make all the lawyers that feed off the system lots of money, and to eventually let the bankrupting company off the hook once they have been sucked dry by the leeches.

Sucks. Best advice I got. Don't throw good money away chasing bad money. In most cases it's gone, move on.
