Mature woman at home looking at the bills and taxes and trying to calculate and pay them. Ways to protect yourself against check fraud Check fraud is on the rise. Here’s what you can do. These days fraud is everywhere, and fraudster methods are always evolving. A growing number of methods are targeting your checkbook. Did you know that checks are now one of the least secure forms of payment? Criminals are combining old-school methods of theft with readily available technology to steal checks, impersonate account holders, and sell to the black market. Arm yourself with the knowledge to protect your identity and checking account. How is check fraud committed? Lifting ink: Lifting ink from a check, or “check washing”, can be done using chemicals as readily available as nail polish remover. Criminals can remove your intended payee’s information and replace it with theirs while also increasing the dollar amount. They then deposit the fraudulent check into their account. Targeting mailboxes: Once mail is stolen from a residential mailbox or a USPS blue box, criminals sift in search of checks that can be washed and forged. The frequency of mail theft is directly correlated to the spike in check fraud. Selling check images on the dark web: There is a growing network of darknets and encrypted communication platforms that criminals use to sell check images. Criminals can use the personal information from your check and your banking information to commit identity theft scams.   Consider these check-writing alternatives and services. If you can, try to avoid placing checks in the mail. First Bank offers a number of alternative options for mailing checks like BillPay, Zelle, External Transfer services, and more. Bill Pay: This free service lets you avoid the hassle of writing checks or visiting multiple websites to stay on top of your payments. See how convenient it is to manage your payments from one place.
