Safeguard Yourself Against Cheque Fraud

Quick Checklist To Keep You Protected

• When ordering cheques – use ONLY your first initials with your last name. That way if your chequebook is stolen, the person won’t know how to sign your full name.
  
• When you receive your order – make sure none are missing.
  
• Avoid leaving your chequebook in your car, or out in the open - keep it hidden or locked at home or work.
  
• Never give your account number to someone you don’t know.
  
• Destroy all cancelled or unused cheques.
  
• Don’t leave blank space on the payee or amount lines.
  
• Never endorse a cheque until you are ready to deposit or cash it to someone you don’t know.
