Check fraud: Be careful when writing or depositing checks
(Courtesy of Chase)
Scammers can steal checks from mailboxes or ones not properly destroyed after being deposited. They can then use chemicals to erase and rewrite the check to themselves. They also may sell your personal information like name, address or account number, or use it to create counterfeit checks.
• Stolen checks can be washed, rewritten and replicated within hours.
• Mail theft from blue boxes is far more common than people realize. If you must mail checks, send them from inside the post office.
|
If you need to write checks, follow these tips
1. Use permanent ink so it's harder to erase.
2. Don't leave empty space before the payee or dollar amount.
3. Draw a line through the extra spaces.
4. Sign the same way every time.
