Do not send a check through the mail. I'm not 100% sure, but think this is how my account information was stolen. They do not need to "wash a check". As long as they have your account number, they will obtain false ID and walk into your bank to take out money. Ask me how I know. There is a big market for false IDs and the criminals know exactly how/what to counterfeit. They will use a branch of your bank that is not near your home so it is less likely that you go there.

Make sure that your bank or credit union has a recent picture of you on file (through your drivers license).

I never use checks anymore. If a contractor does not allow plastic, I ask for the amount and go get a cashier's check from my bank. They will understand. At a restaurant I use cash if the policy is no plastic. If online (taxes, etc.) I am fine with using electronic transfer. [/quote]

In an event like this, your bank is 100% at fault/liable and is required to refund the money and make you whole.[/quote]
