an Ira Johnson said he's from Valley Law Firm wanting to verify whether funds are good on a check that a client provided to setup ACH. After a couple times I informed him that our financial institution does not do 3rd party verification due to accountholder's privacy, he requested to speak with my manager that I informed him wasn't in but would have given him same answer. He continued by asking to verify whether the account is opened or closed, and I again informed him that's considered private and accountholder can request directly a letter of account verification to provide him. And still he insisted by asking to verify the routing number on the check which he read out 111000614 (belongs to Chase Bank !!) and I answered that's not ours. In reply, he asked for our actual routing number, which I gave because it is public information. Before hanging up, he still asked if there's any other ways to meet his original request. My wondering if anyone else got called from this number brought me to this site.
