A local businessman is reporting fraudulent activity on his business checking account after coming up $500 short.

The owner of Highway 48 Foodmart reported to the Chattooga County Sheriffs Office that he had $500 come up missing from his business checking account last week.

Store owner, Babar Khan stated that he had noticed the missing money on June 23rd, however his bank did not have all the information regarding the transaction until the following day, June 24th. The bank showed that an ACH debit withdrawal had been authorized by a person named Jennifer Gorfain and had been deposited in her account.

Khan told Deputies that he was familiar with Gorfain as he had recently hired her at his store and she had only worked 3 previous days on day shift. Khan further stated that since this incident had occured, Gorfain had never come back to work and was no longer responding to any messages about work. Gorfain supposedly also has the keys to the store and has not returned them yet.

This case is still active.
