Text 5
Question: I'm a small businessman and think that I have a dishonest employee. What do I do?
Answer: You must attempt to determine yourself whether the individual is dishonest.
If you have proof that the employee is stealing from you, based upon surveys done, you must report it to the police. Once you report it you must be willing to follow-up and prosecute the individual. If it's worth reporting it's worth following up. If you do what most other small businesses do and terminate the employee he will move on to another business and victimize them the same way.
Question: Igot a counterfeit ($10, $20, $50, $100, $500). Who do I call?
Answer: The United States Secret Service (USSS) is responsible for the investigation of counterfeit treasury notes. It is however, sometimes quicker and easier to contact local law enforcement. They will take a report, once the bill has been determined to be counterfeit.
They will make a property receipt, and place the bill in evidence.
The counterfeit currency can then be obtained by the USSS at their convenience.
Question: I know someone who was flim-flammed on the street but they are ashamed to report it. What should I do?
Answer: Unless the victim of the crime is willing to cooperate it is not of much use for you to make a formal report. However a call to the «Crime Stoppers» line could prove to be of some help if you have any information about the subjects and location.
Question: I think my mother/ father/ grandmother/ grandfather/ another elderly person is being exploited by someone, who do I report it to?
Answer: You have a choice: You may report it to the Division of Health & Rehabilitative Services (HRS) or your local law enforcement agency. The simplest way is to call the 1-800-ABUSE line, they will handle it from their end once the report has been made.
