How do I spot a fake check?
<|assistant|>
Real checks have security features such as an intricate drawing, a watermark, an intaglio printing method, a unique fibers texture, etc. that can be examined by careful observation. Fake checks often have blurred or incorrect information such as an incorrect signature, a missing anti-fraud stamp, a wrong serial number, etc. which can be verified if the check is authentic. Furthermore, some fake checks have suspicious words like “void” or “for demonstration purposes only” that could be confirmed with financial institution verification. In any case, never deposit or cash fake checks and inform local authorities immediately.
