The Real Risk of Paper Checks: ID Theft
Description
The Overlooked Connection Between Writing Checks and Identity Theft
A paper check may seem harmless, but the information printed on it can become a valuable resource for identity thieves. Paper Checks and ID Theft is a 3:11 educational video that explores the surprising connection between check usage, financial fraud, and identity theft.
Featuring insights from David Maimon, Professor of Criminal Justice at Georgia State University, the video explains how criminals can use information found on stolen checks—including names, addresses, bank routing details, and other identifying information—and combine it with data obtained elsewhere to create more complete profiles of their victims. The threat goes far beyond simply altering or cashing a stolen check. Personal information can potentially be used to facilitate other forms of fraud, including fraudulent accounts and identity-based crimes.
The video also draws attention to the risks for older adults, who may be more likely to rely on paper checks for everyday payments. Rather than simply identifying the problem, the resource provides practical steps viewers can consider to reduce their exposure, including using alternative payment methods, freezing their credit, and closely monitoring financial statements for suspicious activity.
Easy to understand and based on emerging research, this video introduces an identity theft risk many employees and their families may never have considered. It’s an excellent addition to personal cybersafety, financial wellness, fraud prevention, and senior cybersecurity education.
