My issue with the salon came in September of this year, when I discovered that one of their stylists who had been doing my hair for about 9 months, Kristin Schutz, had been using the information printed on the checks I had been giving her for services in order to actually fraudulently use my checking account. She had taken the checking account number and routing number from my checks and had used those numbers to draft an electronic check from my bank account to pay her utility bills. This sounds insane, I know, but believe it or not it is absolutely the truth. Unfortunately for her, she was not smart enough to not use her own name when committing fraud, so her name showed up on my bank's end. Because she is clearly not an authorized user on my checking account, the bank had no problem deeming it fraud, and I had my money back within a few hours.
