Business Checks

Their was 2 girls locally that was arrested for going around and stealing checks out of mailboxes. They found the checks and tried to cash then, and some of the checks was altered. Its easy for crooks to edit a personal or business check. How can you protect your checks? Their are several ways that will help alot.

Peachtree business checks and quickbooks checks are easy to use and can save you time. When writing a check, dont hand write them, as the ink can be easily altered. Dont use ink-jet, as it bleeds through and can be altered with chemicals as well. Using a laser printer will fuse the powder ink to the check paper, and make it very difficult for the check to be changed. Its ashamed that with our society that we have to keep on making changes to make a payment.  I would recommend NOT to leave a check in your mail box. If your going to have checks coming alot, why not get a P.O. Box. That way you know it will be safe. Mail your checks from the post office, or electronically send the check.
