3. There are a variety of ways in which you may determine
the originality of the check. Some of them are-
Examine the edges-
● Run your finger along the edges and feel the roughness on it.
● If it is not rough to touch and too smooth, there is a probability that it
might have been printed using a computer and a printer.
● Though this test is not so accurate, as the check given to you might be
fresh out of a new checkbook.
4. Check for check number-
● Any legit check will have a registered number by the bank.
● This is printed on the top right corner of the check.
● In case the number is missing, the check is most likely a fake.
● If it is there, match it with the MICR line which is at the bottom
of the check.
● This is the line of numbers which includes the routing number,
account number and the check number.
5. Examine the MICR line-
● Run your finger over the link and feel the ink
● If it feels embossed and is shiny, the check is a fake.
● An original check will only bear the MICR line which is dull to
look at and smooth to touch.
● Also, you may go on the Federal Reserve Bank Services site
and check with them using the routing number.
6. Bank Logo-
● Check the logo of the bank on the face of the check and look
for irregularities.
● Most fraudulent checks will have a bank logo printed on it, but
its quality may differ a lot from the real one.
● If it seems faded or hazy, the check is most likely a fake one.
● Also look for the bank’s address and compare it on the
internet. If it differs, the check is a fake.
7. Feel the paper-
● The paper used for making these checks is strong and sturdy,
and you can immediately tell the difference when you touch a
fake
● Bend it a little to check the kind of resistance it shows.
● A smooth, glossy and thin paper indicate that the check is a
fake.
