Likewise, the Government of Canada cheques have also been counterfeited, passed and not discovered until they return to their respective department, During the past year, Officers of the Ontario Provincial Police Anti -Rackets Branch and the Metropolitan Toronto Police Fraud Squad. in conjunction with police departments across Canada, have been investigating this type of crime, While it is difficult to prevent the counterfeiting of cheque forms, it is not impossible to prevent the criminal element from cashing them. There are several precautions which citizens of all walks of life may take to prevent the forger from obtaining his object- ive. 1. If the passer is not person- ally known, insist on several items of identification. If the cheque is already endorsed have the passer sign it again in your presence. 2. Skilled cheque passers often dress the part. A construction "hard hat" worn with work clothes does not necessarily mean what is being conveyed. The woman with a child may not be what she seems. The old age pensioner may be a ruse. The suave, well-dressed businessman may be a fake, as well as his cheque. Cheque passers like to work fast. Delay makes them nervous. if in doubt, double check identificat- ion. Company executives should keep their cheque forms and che- que writers locked in a safe P• A break-in could put them in the hands of the forger. PERSONAL CHEQUES Thefts from the mail before delivery are increasing. Street letter boxes are being uprooted and stolen intact; they are also being opened with forged keys right on location. Once in possession of your mailed cheque, the forger fraudulently uses your signature and bank account number to defraud banks and businesses. Simple precautions will help in controlling this type of crime. 1. When possible, deposit your mail at your local post office, or collection times. 2. Deposit your mail in a street letter box just before final collection times. 3. Keep a record of cheques issued and have your bank account made up regularly. 4. Report discrepancies immed- iately. 50 Years Ago SEPTEMBER 1919 R, F. Stade, Alf Pfaff, L. W.
