Have you ever heard of check-washing? It’s when criminals steal checks (sometimes right from mailboxes) and use chemicals to erase details—such as changing the payee or amount—leading to fraud and financial loss. Stay safe: • Use checks with security features. • Never leave payee or amount fields blank. • Don't let outgoing mail sit in your mailbox. • Write checks with black gel ink—it's harder to wash off. If you suspect check fraud, let us know immediately: freedom.coop/about-us/contact-us. #ScamSmarts #CheckFraud #FinancialSecurity #FraudPrevention #SmartBanking (fb)
