How to avoid cheque fraud

• Write cheques using black or blue ballpoint ink: dark colours make it harder for crooks to make amendments.
• put the amount as close to the ‘£’ sign as possible. This prevents fraudsters from adding extra digits.
• Always write out the name of the person to whom you’re sending a cheque in full. Avoid using initials.
• If you’re making a cheque payable to a bank, building society or credit card company, always include your account details. So in the ‘payee line’ write your bank, name and account number.
• Any amendments must be made clearly by crossing through your error and marking the correction with your initials or signature.
• Never, ever sign a blank cheque.
