Yes, I use checks to transfer money between my checking accounts.

You might want to educate yourself on this. You're extremely ignorant.
I've never had a problem with any check that I have wrote. However, I have been the victim of credit card fraud. Maybe the previous poster is talking from personal experience.

I've had my credit card number stolen three times. And one time the fraudulent charges were on a card that I never used! I'm not even sure that I activated the card.

It’s very rare but we still use them. Don’t carry them around on me though. Some of my blank checks still show “19__” for the year just to show you how rarely I use them.

A check I wrote out to pay for plumbing services was counterfeited about 8 months later, and scammers tried to withdrew thousands of dollars from my account. I was lucky the bank reimbursed me, but there were several attempts involving the altered check. I no longer pay with checks.
You need to use this pen:

Other inks are easily "washed" enabling the check to be re-used.
Combine that with a check w/ built-in security features effectively eliminates this type of fraud; see:
https://www.ordermychecks.com/caccp/productview.jsp?productId=prod2790149&src=prodlist
even if your check falls into the hands of the "bad guys" they won't even bother and quickly move on to an easier target -- ie, "you don't need to out run the bear, you just need to be faster than the person you're with"
Given mobile deposit, photoshop, etc. the type of ink is irrelevant
The pen/ink is important because checks stolen in the mail (a common occursnce) are washed and rewritten to be to other people and for large amounts. If you use a pen with ink that cannot be washed, you are protected
It’s so easy to scan a check and then do whatever you want with the scanned image and the account information on the check.
