Why can’t someone just scan a copy of a check I gave them? Wouldn’t they have the ability to make unlimited checks?

Don’t all checks include the same information on them? Why couldn’t someone make more checks in my name?

Someone absolutely could. The thing is–why would they? What are they going to do with the checks? Walk into a bank and cash one, on camera, and then likely end up in jail and having a criminal record? Why would someone smart enough to be able to forge your checks be dumb enough to take such a risk for what is likely very-limited gain? Even if you’re going to break the law by trying to steal, there are certainly less-risky ways to do it.
