Checking Accounts

Fraudulent checks can cause serious problems. Scammers use them to obtain sensitive information and steal money. They may ask you to deposit the check and send a portion of the funds back to them. If you receive a check from an unknown source, do not cash or deposit it. Contact local authorities if you feel threatened or know it is a fraud. Remember, if the check is fake and you spend the money, you will be held responsible for paying the bank back.
