So in some cases, if you are writing your address differently from the way that it appears in a tax form, because of that direct link to the IRS, it might be hard for them to find the same exact address across both platforms.
So try to copy down your address in the same way that it's written on your tax forms if possible.
Well, the U.S.
relies on checks far more than many other countries.
It has the highest per capita check usage in the world, with about 30 checks used per person annually, according to the Federal Reserve.
The second highest is France, with about 16 checks per person.
So you can really see how much checks are still a vital part of the U.S.
economy.
And in the U.S., check fraud went up nearly 400 percent last year.
Yeah, that's actually part of how they get away with this.
So the issue is that there are mass volumes of fraudsters that are hitting multiple banks at a time.
So they're in these channels on Telegram and basically sending photos of checks to each other, asking for access to Fidelity accounts or emails.
JPMorgan Chase accounts.
And they're having these rapid amounts of communication with each other in real time, getting access to bank account information, and then depositing altered or fake checks into these accounts and moving that money as fast as possible.
Another thing that surprised us while we were reporting this story is how difficult it is sometimes for banks to investigate these cases of check fraud immediately.
I spoke with a woman who last year had a check that she had written to send to her sister stolen.
And somebody had done exactly like Justin is describing.
They had washed the check, put in a four in the place of a three.
So they added a thousand extra dollars.
And by the time that another family member of hers wanted to deposit a check that she had made for the same account, they were told that the check bounced, that there wasn't enough money in that account.
