Check cashing fraud: We can't stress this tip enough: void, hide, and/or destroy all documents which have your account information on them. Scam artists will go to quite a bit of trouble to forge or create phony checks, but all too often their job is as easy as finding unused checks. Check forgers will hire homeless people, even children, to search through dumpsters, garbage cans and dumps for thrown-away checking documents. Phony or stolen checks can be used at various businesses to purchase goods. Many thieves pick on businesses with busy or new staff. Thieves can even take advantage of long lines at financial institutions and cash their forged checks for the full amount. Cashing bad checks is not always as easy as simply going to some check cashing facility. Often, the thieves will alter and forge stolen ID cards and set up temporary accounts. Invariably, thieves, even whole gangs of operators, will deposit forged checks into these accounts and cash them out within a short time.
Prevent check cashing fraud: The best way to avoid check thieves is to destroy all checks. Even voided checks may be "washed" and reused by forgery operations. Ask your financial institution not to include used checks in your monthly statements. Statements that include canceled checks can be stolen from mailboxes or found at the dump. Check your account statements as soon as they arrive. Don't have checkbook reorders sent to your home unless you have a locking mailbox. Don't leave your checkbook or account information where anyone can easily find it (e.g. leaving a checkbook in the car, in open view, is an invitation for someone to break in). Keep a magic marker handy for blotting out the account number at the bottom of your canceled or voided checks. Void all unused checks and deposit slips. Consider using a paper shredder
Deposit slip fraud: People are often surprised to find that thieves take advantage of their unused deposit slips. Not only do thieves and forgers cash bad checks, but thieves use another common scam. Thieves will use a stolen deposit slip to "deposit" a large portion of stolen checks from other accounts. The thieves can then select "less cash" amounts that are less likely to draw careful scrutiny. The owners of the stolen checks may have already closed their compromised accounts, but now the victimized owner of the lost deposit slip will have cash withdrawals made against her account. Far too few people realize that they shouldn't throw away their unused deposit slips. Treat deposit slips like all personal documents: don't just leave them for anyone to use. It is a good idea to void your unused deposit slips as soon as you finish a book of checks.
