ELIF: What stops people from faking checks

1.03K views

So essentially someone writes you a check, you then bring the check into the bank and they take money out of that persons bank account and put it into yours. Just based on that slip of paper. So what stops anyone from writing fake checks, it seems like it would be really easy
(I’m a teenager so if this is completely wrong my apologies)

Edit: Thanks for the responses!

You have to know that person’s account number. The legitimate checks normally already have that number on them.
