I may not have all the details right but this just hit my area. How it works: you receive a check from an insurance or health care company not a huge amount of money, it says refund etc. You deposit it, the bank has stamped all the processing junk on the back including account numbers. Then when it gets back to the sender they use this account information to wipe out the account!!!! I saw one and could not believe that it had all that information on it!!!! They basically convert it to electronic like e check. One bank lady told me they will probably have to start blocking out all but like last 4 numbers. Pretty clever as its like getting your credit card number and pin etc!! Probably same outfit that started the over payment scam!!
 
I would know that was a scam right away. My insurance company just TAKES; they never give any BACK to me! Even when I point out that they overcharged me, they still keep the money!!
 
I've thought about that when I send a check to somebody- account number, routing number, everything is there for the taking.

I did hear a good tip the other day- "Mother's maiden name" seems to be the standard identity question over the years, and now with the internet, its pretty easy to get that information. So the nice man on the radio suggested just making up an erroneous name for that- he uses "Grapefruit".
 
What I don't like is the fact that the IRS wants you to write your SS Number on your check when you send them a check......

How many people can see this---
