Things You Can Do To…..

Avoid Costly Scams Involving Fake Checks and Money Orders.

Consumers and businesses often lose thousands of dollars in transactions with con artists.

There’s been explosive growth in counterfeit personal and business checks, cashier’s checks and money orders in the last few years, due in part to new technologies and the growth of the Internet for transactions among strangers. But, what’s especially troubling is that individual consumers and businesses are losing significant sums in these scams – often thousands of dollars – because they deposited a check from a stranger, withdrew the funds and then sent money or merchandise before their financial institution discovered that the check was fraudulent.

In these cases, the depositor most likely will be held responsible for the entire amount of the fraudulent check. Why? Because by depositing the check and withdrawing money, the consumer is taking responsibility for the funds that have been spent or sent before the check is found to be worthless. And often the withdrawal cannot be cancelled or reversed, especially with wire transfers, in which funds are transferred out of the account immediately. Also, the person who receives the check usually is in the best position to realize that it may not be good.
