I recently read on embezzlement.com that the Secret Service was the best agency to call if your business is embezzled against. I could hardly believe what I was reading. The Secret Service? Really?

Isn’t the Secret Service all about protecting the President of the United States? Wouldn’t it make more sense to call the local police department or maybe the FBI to report embezzlement?Well, to my surprise, I spoke to a local field office of the Secret Service and discovered it is true. In a quote from the special agent, the secret service is charged with investigating anything that “touches” the financial. He said that the FBI typically is not interested in embezzlement cases unless they are in the multi-millions of dollars. The special agent said the Secret Service is interested in all cases, especially those in smaller businesses.

According to embezzlement.com, it is better to contact the Secret Service even before contacting local authorities because the Secret Service is then reluctant to get involved if other agencies are already on the case.

So, the next time you are suspicious of embezzlement in your business, contact a special agent in your nearest local Secret Service field office.
