Are routing and account numbers considered “secret”? Potentially any one of the handful of people I still write checks to could be unscrupulous and write checks, debit my account, etc., right?
I must be missing something but making fake checks, with fake banking information is a felony. What am I missing? The links don't explain how this criminal.
Yes! That’s why I recently had to go through the annoyance of changing checking accounts when someone stole the mail of one of the few vendors I still send checks to. Actually, I would have taken the risk, but my bank would not.
