There are some things you can look for when accepting checks as a form of payment that will alert you that the check may be forged. Some things to look for are:
If the check writer's name is different than the name printed on the check.
If the top of side of the check is smooth and not perforated.
If the bank numbers across the bottom appear glossy or irregular.
Any difference or misalignment of type styles or fonts.
Printing on the check appears faint or photocopied.
Photo ID does not match check information.
Keep your eyes open for these clues and avoid the risk of receiving a forged check.
