Fraudulent checks seem to be making their way around the world.  We would like to remind all of our customers to review your accounts frequently for anything that doesn’t seem right.  There are some scams where the check payee is “washed” and replaced with a fraudulent payee, there are also scams where the check isn’t altered at all but is intercepted by someone with fraudulent intentions.  You may never know unless the person you wrote the check to calls you and says they never received it. If a fraudulent check isn’t returned in a timely manner, you may be in a situation to lose money and we want to do everything we can to avoid that for our customers.  Here are some helpful tips to make sure you aren’t a victim of fraudulent checks.
