Check Fraud

When it comes to check fraud, there are a few important tips to keep in mind.

 

1. Review Checks Before Depositing

First, always review checks before depositing. If you receive an unexpected check or don’t know who the check is from, then proceed with caution.

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

 

2. Don't Rush, Verify Details

Next, if you’re being urged to quickly complete a check deposit and if you have been instructed to send money after the deposit has been made, then chances are the check is not legit.

If a check is questionable, then bring it to ECU and let us verify the check before you negotiate it.

 

3. Report Suspected Fraud Immediately

Lastly, if you spot anything suspicious, report it to ECU immediately.
