Do not keep large amounts of money in your checking account.

Even the people who is worked at the post office steal your money, they caught the the postal service stole so many checks at his house

Use a Sharpie pen when writing checks. The permanent ink soaks into the paper.

@waltwenzel9549 2 месяца назад

If you don't write checks, you are not in control of your money ! Try and get some answers or action if there is a problem with a "direct" or "auto-pay" account. Once they have your money, they won't want anything to do with you. Auto pay only benefits the entity you are paying. In this day and age, your digital info can be ripped off even easier. There is a price to pay for easy and convenient.

Nonsense. Is that your own thinking or is someone scaremongering you? Time to step into the 21st century!!

@lmcc0072 2 месяца назад

Checks can be a very easy way to steal money. Someone doesn’t even need to see one of your checks to make fake ones. All that they need is your name and account number. If they actually have one of your checks they now have both of the above plus your address, phone number, and bank routing number. I rarely write checks and I be been keeping less and less in my checking account.

In rural towns they still use checks for transactions and charge you extra for plastic and paying online. That is if they have an online fully functional website.

I have a PO Box to help protect my mail and packages- always there at a specific time, no delays due to weather, and it’s all literally under lock and key. And it only costs me less than a grande Starbucks latte every month.

@johnstack5008 2 месяца назад

I'm not concerned about this at all. Even if the scammer was somehow able to fake a check of mine, as soon as the scammer deposit's the check, the bank sends me a notification via email and text. Personal checks take time to clear giving me plenty of time to put a stop payment on the check.

@malanalan1 2 месяца назад

That scanning of incoming mail by USPS is not reliable. Frequently they miss many mail pieces. Also, USPS does not stamp most of mail. There is no way of knowing when it was mailed.

@jerryfacts9749 2 месяца назад

I only write a check if I have to and no other option to use. When I get a check from anyone who is buying something from me, I always wait 31 days to make sure it is cleared. I warn them in advance I will wait a minimum of 31 days before sending the item. I make sure they agree in advance. If they put up an argument with me, I tell them to look somewhere else. I will not deal with them!

Check Fraud, should it not be written as Cheque Fraud which is the correct English’s? The word “Check” has different meanings “Safety Check, Examine and Verify”. The word “Cheque” means “a printed form on which you write an amount of money and who it is to be paid to”.
