Check fraud may sound like an old problem, but it’s still one of the fastest-growing types of financial fraud, and it can affect anyone. While many payments now happen online, millions of people still use paper checks to pay rent, send gifts, make business payments, or cover bills. And any time money is moving, fraudsters are paying attention.
Throughout the month of August, America Saves will launch a four-week campaign to educate the general public on what check fraud is, the different types of check fraud to look out for, how to detect check fraud, and what to do if you're a victim of check fraud. This partner toolkit provides practical, ready-to-use content you can share with your audience throughout the month, including downloadable resources, blog posts, social media content/graphic, email content, and videos. Feel free to join us in the conversation week-by-week, or pull the content relevant for your audience and share on a schedule that works best for your team.
