So Proud of His Cheque Fraud He Tattooed it on His Elbow :: ASAP Cheques - Save up to 50%

Why is cheque fraud on the rise?

Because it’s easy.

Say you’re a common lazy street criminal.

You don’t have the technical skills to hack into electronic payment systems. You don’t have contacts at a big company who can deliver you a database of credit card numbers.

What do you do?

Go after paper cheques.

Gabriel Patterson, a 21-year-old Crips gang member - (and son of an NYPD detective!) was so proud of all the cheques he cashed through Bank of America that he had the bank’s logo tattooed on the inside of his elbow!

He was caught and sentenced to 33 months in prison.

But it shows you how low-level criminals are coming after YOUR cheques.

According to the Federal Reserve, cheques are the leading target for attempted fraud.

How do you avoid becoming a target?
