Do not keep large amounts of money in your checking account.

This! I also don't have my savings account connected to my debit card.

If you don't write checks, you are not in control of your money ! Try and get some answers or action if there is a problem with a "direct" or "auto-pay" account. Once they have your money, they won't want anything to do with you. Auto pay only benefits the entity you are paying. In this day and age, your digital info can be ripped off even easier. There is a price to pay for easy and convenient.

Nonsense. Is that your own thinking or is someone scaremongering you? Time to step into the 21st century!!

Use a Sharpie pen when writing checks. The permanent ink soaks into the paper.

Checks can be a very easy way to steal money. Someone doesn’t even need to see one of your checks to make fake ones. All that they need is your name and account number. If they actually have one of your checks they now have both of the above plus your address, phone number, and bank routing number. I rarely write checks and I be been keeping less and less in my checking account.

I barely write checks anymore. Rent only.

I only write a check if I have to and no other option to use. When I get a check from anyone who is buying something from me, I always wait 31 days to make sure it is cleared. I warn them in advance I will wait a minimum of 31 days before sending the item. I make sure they agree in advance. If they put up an argument with me, I tell them to look somewhere else. I will not deal with them!

Digital payments, have you seen how secure ATT keeps your personal information (70 million plus in the past few months). I’m sure ATT isn’t the only one.

@johnstack5008 4 ай бұрын

I'm not concerned about this at all. Even if the scammer was somehow able to fake a check of mine, as soon as the scammer deposit's the check, the bank sends me a notification via email and text. Personal checks take time to clear giving me plenty of time to put a stop payment on the check.

That scanning of incoming mail by USPS is not reliable. Frequently they miss many mail pieces. Also, USPS does not stamp most of mail. There is no way of knowing when it was mailed.

Wait “or” not “and” if you make out a check to two people! So you have to both sign if it is “and” if it is “or” either can sign !

Check Fraud, should it not be written as Cheque Fraud which is the correct English’s? The word “Check” has different meanings “Safety Check, Examine and Verify”. The word “Cheque” means “a printed form on which you write an amount of money and who it is to be paid to”.
