Holder in Due Course:
Do you realize that if a counterfeiter forges one of your checks and uses the fake check to defraud another person or company, you can then be liable for that company's loss even if you had no idea that your check had been counterfeited? This liability exists if it can be proven that you did not show "ordinary care" to prevent fraud when designing and order your checks.

Phishing & Email Fraud:
Phishing is where a criminal sends you an email that appears to have come from eBay, PayPal, or possibly a bank asking you to click a link and provide them with sensitive information in order to keep your account active or some other ruse. Unfortunately for you, the link does not go to the actual eBay or PayPal site but instead a fake site where the criminal can capture your username, password, and credit card details so that they can get into your real account and steal from you. Email fraud is simply an extension of other forms of fraud through the email medium. These can include emails containing bogus offers, requests for help, and requests to log into your account.
