Seeking Information for "Work Related" Victims

The FBI's Birmingham Division is investigating a Telegram Chat called "Work Related Slips." The "Work Related" channel sells checks issued by businesses. The administrator of the channel uses the usernames "01iHK" and "01iHK1" and mails the stolen checks to the purchaser. During the investigation, it was discovered that a check drawn against your bank account was identified on this cyber fraud marketplace.
