An Ontario man said a cheque he sent the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) worth more than $10,000 for his maple syrup company was stolen in the mail.

Ender runs a small family business making organic maple syrup and earlier this year he had to settle his tax bill with the CRA and sent the agency a cheque for $10,800.

"The answer the bank came back with is this cheque was spotted in 54 days and you have to notify us within 45 days," said Ender. CTV News also reached out to Canada Post and a spokesperson said, “Canadians across the country rely on Canada Post for the safe delivery of their mail. It’s a responsibility we take very seriously. Unfortunately, our Customer Service and Security and Investigation teams weren’t made aware of this situation in order to look further into this incident.”

The use of paper cheques has been declining for decades, but cheque fraud is on the rise. In the United States the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network found cheque fraud cases almost doubled to 680,000 cases in 2022 from 350,000 cases in 2021.
