A thief could use blank check stock and simply replicate the MICR line, even allowing them to change the name and address to match their fake ID. They could also use the account information to originate a fraudulent electronic ACH transaction. | |

Added one word

| Jun 6, 2019 at 15:39 | comment | added | ab2 | @CharonX See edit, last sentence. The goal was not to make the checks unusable, but to illustrate that they can be made unfindable, (except possibly by the insane). Would you be willing to search through the mess I described? There are ways to make it even more repulsive, but in deference to people who may gag at the description, I leave that to the imagination. | |

edited last sentence to clarify

| Jun 6, 2019 at 14:49 | comment | added | Xrylite | I think you may have forgot to suggest freezing all the checkbooks with liquid nitrogen and smashing them with a hammer. | |
| Jun 6, 2019 at 13:20 | comment | added | CharonX | Strongly disagree. You might make the checks repulsive that way, but you won't render them unusable. "You see, Vality cut me this check for 50.000$ but when I got out of the car at home I dropped my wallet into the that big bucket of bio-waste I meant to put into the compost. Yeah, it looks and smells horrible, but at least the check is still legible and I won't need to bother Vality to write me a new one..." | |
