Cathie Naeve Affidavit
12/17/2017
To whom it may concern,
On October 11th, 2017 I received a call from Stacy Riener the assistant branch manager of Chase Bank at 7301 Federal Blvd Westminster CO 80030-4920 Stacy Riener - Assistant Branch Manager - (303) 244-5410. Riener told me Tabatha McMains went into the bank on October 10th to cash one of my checks, and the signature did not look right, so they thought they would call to verify to see if I had sent her in there.
I told her thanks for calling me, I did not send her to cash anything for me. Then I immediately went to my office and quickly went through my statements and found several unauthorized, forged checks that Tabatha McMains had written out and signed my signature, to herself. I called my payroll company, to get a detailed work schedule for Tabatha McMains from the first of the year to the present so I could establish some kind of pattern. I took this information to the Chase Bank to speak with Stacy Riener.
She took me into an office and showed me several checks she thought were suspicious, and they matched mine, totaling the sum of $14,800.00. I wanted to close out my account so Stacy made an appointment for me to meet an account manager - Anh Ngvyen for October 13th, 2017.
Tabatha McMmains is a friend of my brother Travis Naeve so I went to his house to tell him and show him the evidence of what Tabatha had done. As I was leaving, I saw Tabatha driving up and before I knew it, text messages from Tabatha started coming through to my phone, asking me what was going on. We exchanged a few texts which ended with her last text reading:
"Cathie..I really need you to tell everyone including Karen and Travis, the cops, the bank, or whoever else you told that it was a mistake and never bring it up again. I really do not want CDOT, or Hamon or Hamilton or your parents or Facebook or the cops to get the pictures or video of you smoking.", "if I feel like you did not tell them or if you show this to anyone I will send them. I am sorry."
I did not respond. In fact, that is the very last time either of us communicated in anyway. Then I went straight to the Adams County Sheriff Department to file a report and they gave me the forms to fill out and what to gather, to submit the report. With the forms in hand, I went to my office to gather paperwork and found more than
What I originally had time to find for the bank which now totals $28,300.00 in forged checks.
On October 13th I went to the meeting, and closed my accounts and opened new ones with only enough money to cover checks that had recently been written. I talked with Chase's fraud department and they only gave me some more paper work with instructions to get a police report number or they couldn't file the claim. I met my other brother Mel, who lives with Tabatha, to tell him about everything that was going on with Tabatha and my bank. At this same time, (Oct 13th at 1:51) while talking with Mel, I received text from Bank of America:
"message for Cathy naeve re: credit card #8096. To continue using your card, please verify these three transactions:
10/13-wal-mart #1231-$356.97(declined); corner store 4101-$8.12(approved); 10/13-ae gas & food-$8.83(approved);
If you attempted all 3 of these transactions, reply yes. If you do not recognize one or more of them, reply no. To opt Out of text alerts reply stop."
At 2:33pm on the same day I texted back "no" and credit card company responded by text with this message,
"your credit card is restricted, to prevent additional unauthorized transactions, login at bankofamerica.com or call 800-427-2449 now to protect your account."
I realized Tabatha had gotten ahold and stole more than my business checks, and also stole my credit cards or information. I had to go back to the police station once again to finalize the police report, and obtain the police report number the bank required. This is when I let the officer read the text about the threat Tabatha texted me and the officer told me, the text, was not blackmail or extortion and the text did not pertain to the case at hand.
On October 14th, I returned to Adams County Sheriff Department to get the required police report number, returned back to Chase bank and handed all paperwork to bank official, Anh Ngvyen. She faxed copies of the claim and the police report to the fraud department. Before leaving the bank, I asked Anh Nvyen for a complete copy of all transactions of all the accounts in question since the first of year and she agreed to provide.
I waited several days without any word so around October 20th, I go back to the Adams county police department and was told to call Jesse Gallegos at 720-322-1202 and when I called, they redirect me to Detective Lillian Cano at 720-322-1226. I called and left a message for her to call me back.
I go to Chase bank, and ask Anh Ngvyen if she heard anything from the police and she said no, but she has copies of paperwork I requested. Upon leaving the bank, I glance at the paperwork and notice its only a portion of what I asked for which I already had myself, which was only 9 bank statements. I waited for her to finish with another customer and when she came over to me, I let her know this is not what I requested and again requested a copy of all transactions I have made from the first of the year, from all accounts. She said they would be mailed to me.
Then I went to Adams County Sheriff's office looking for the detective in charge of this case, but they only offered the number again so I left and called, but was only able to leave another message, hoping for any new information.
I went back to my office and canceled all my other credit cards. Now it is after 5pm so I call Detective Cano
and she answers the phone. I tell her who I was and if there was something I needed to do and she got snotty
with me told me she had to talk with Tabatha first, get her side of the story and then hand it to the D.A. Office and if there was enough evidence the D.A. would file charges. I replied "you would talk to her before
talking with me" - she replied "did I say that?". I replied "no" and said goodbye.
On October 16, 2017 I received emails from Chase so I printed them and took them back to the bank to find out if anything had been done. Anh Nvygen and I talked for a half hour about this situation and there was no new information so I left.
On November 3, 2017 I received a letter in the mail from Chase denying my claim. I went back to the bank on the 4th of November and asked to speak with the manager (Reiner). I showed her the letter and she called the fraud department. As I was sitting there she kept saying "is that something I can share?", again she said, "is that something I can share?" Then told me it was "denied because of time limitation" as she wrote on the back of my letter 30 days + 5 and then said "you are liable because you did not check your statements" we got into a aurgument about how they should be held just as liable due to they are the ones who gave my money away to Tabatha, who was not on my signature card!"
Then on November 6th I went to another Chase bank on 80th and Sheridan. I explained to Nick Shaw
what was going on, then he excused himself to go speak to the branch manager. He came back and told me it would be a while, but that the manager would contact the fraud dept then get back to me.
Later that day, Mr. Shaw called me and informed me the denial was because in my affidavit I turned into the Adams County Police Dept, I stated that Tabatha had access to my finances. So I told him, but I never authorized her to forge my signature or to write out checks to herself. Shaw replied, my manager has been working on this case all after noon and there are so many signatures and different hand writing on the checks in question, that Chase couldn’t tell the differences between any of the hand writing - so that’s why they denied my claim. I hung up very upset. I felt I was not getting the proper help that was necessary to press charges against Tabatha.
On November 17th I went to the Westminster Police Department and asked them if they could help me. I spoke to Nicole who was very helpful, and she took notes about my case. She asked me for the report so I took it to her the next day. She called me later that day saying she could only leave messages because the detective did not answer. She told me she would be off for a few days to call her next week. So around Nov 17th??, I went back into the Westminster Police Department to talk to Nicole again and she said no one, including other officers could get in touch with anyone at the Adams County Sheriff’s Department. She said their hands were tied and gave me a phone number - 303-288-1535 for her superior.
Monday November 20th, I went to see Detective Cano at Adams County Sheriff Department - she was very rude, acting like I was wasting her time and told me to bring copies to her because it would take too much time for her to find the report on her computer. She left me in some room, came back and handed me a list of more things I would need to gather. I took the list and told her, I could have already had all this for you had you given it to me back on October 14th and that I don’t trust her with my case anymore. She then told me to give her my phone as if she could use it to prove something, I told her no and left.
Over the weekend I saw on the list Detective Cano gave me - forensic auditor. So on November 22nd, I emailed a Forensic Auditor Expert named Pamela Kerr. I sent her an email explaining that I needed help because the perpetrator of this crime against me and my company is not being held accountable for her actions and will continue until she’s finally caught and stopped.
On November 28th, I received a response from her stating that she shared my information with the Adams County D.A. and as of now, letting the Westminster Police Department take over the case might be the best I could do for now.
