This is not always the case when facsimile signatures are used, as will be discussed later in this article. A drawee’s liability for forged signatures of the drawer arises because the drawee bank keeps the drawer’s signature card on file and is held responsible for verifying the signature. In most cases, a drawee is liable for claims involving the signature on the face of the check and the depository bank is liable for claims involving the payee’s endorsement on the back of the check. A payee is the party entitled to receive funds from the payor bank, usually the drawee.
A drawee is a party, typically a bank, required to pay out money when the check is presented. A drawer or maker is the person writing the check. A customer is the person with the account at the bank. Under the Uniform Commercial Code, a payor bank may only debit a drawer’s account for checks that are “properly payable”. Realistically, however, if the scammer lives in a foreign country, has disguised his identity or has disappeared, your chances of recovering the money are not good. What rights do you have? Ordinarily, you would seek repayment from the person who wrote the check to you. ii FDIC insurance does not cover losses due to theft or fraud. In some cases it is possible that law enforcement could bring charges against victims because it may look like they were involved in the scam and knew the check was counterfeit. Banks may also freeze or close your account or take money from other accounts you have at that bank, bring suit against you to recover the funds, or report you to a checking account abuse database i. In addition to collecting funds from you, the bank may also charge a fee, particularly if the reversal results in NSF checks, etc. Until the bank confirms that the funds were actually deposited into your account, you are responsible for any funds drawn against that check. In the meantime, you’re responsible because it is assumed that you are in the best position to determine the risk of accepting the check – you dealt with the person who gave it to you. The real company does not become aware of these charges until they appear on their statement. Say for example that the check allegedly came from a real company (as was the case in a blog post recently made by ERAI titled: Bad check scam – ERAI Members’ identities being used to commit fraud). Your bank then sends the check to the source. Your bank accepts the deposit based on your identification – they have no information about the source of the check. Processing a payment actually takes longer than 1-5 days. The problem is, while the funds are available, the funds are not really yours until the check “clears”. Official checks, such as US Treasury checks, government checks and bank checks are usually made available one day after deposit. Under federal law, banks are required to make funds available to you within 1-5 days. You may be asking yourself why can you be held responsible and the bank not. These counterfeits range from cashier’s checks and money orders to corporate and personal checks. High quality printers and scanners, authentic-looking watermarks, copied facsimile signatures, authentic names and addresses of legitimate financial institutions, as well as real routing numbers and account numbers are all being used to perpetrate this fraud. The Federal Trade Commission reports that not only are counterfeit check scams occurring more frequently, the counterfeit checks are becoming harder to identify.
