Frequently Asked

What is check washing?

A thief steals a written check, chemically removes the ink, and rewrites it to a new payee for a new amount. Gel pens with pigment ink and prompt mail pickup make it harder.

Who covers the loss when a check is altered?

It depends on how the fraud happened, how quickly it was reported, and the rules your bank operates under. Report suspected fraud to your bank immediately — timelines matter.

Is this legal or financial advice?

No. CheckFraud.com is educational. For a specific incident, contact your bank, local police, and a qualified professional.
