Cheque fraud might sound like a thing of the past—but in 2025, it's more common and sophisticated than ever. With new technologies and convincing tactics, scammers are finding creative ways to trick people into cashing fraudulent checks, leading to bounced payments, account closures, or worse—identity theft.
These scams often show up in the form of:
- Fake job offers that involve overpaying by check
- Lottery or prize scams asking you to cash a check and send a portion back
- “Secret shopper” scams with copyright business checks
- Or even fake personal checks from unknown sources
The consequences of falling for these scams can be severe. You could be held responsible for the full amount of a bad check—even if you already spent the money. That’s why recognizing the signs is crucial.
Here’s how to protect yourself from cheque fraud in 2025:
- ✅ Never accept checks from people or businesses you don’t know
- ✅ Be cautious with overpayments or requests to send money back
- ✅ Look for poor-quality printing, typos, or mismatched names
- ✅ Verify the issuing bank or source before depositing
- ✅ Always use a trusted check cashing service
