OPB notes increase in cashier’s check fraud Oregon Pacific Bank, 1355 Highway 101, has noticed a recent spike in cashier’s check fraud within the Florence area and is recommending that clients of all banks be on the lookout. Cashier’s checks are consid- ered comparatively risk-free, as they are drawn by the financial institution and signed by a teller. However modern advances in printing technology allow for scammers to forge cashier’s checks in order to commit fraud. If a cashier’s check is found to be fraudulent, the consumer who cashed or deposited the fraudulent check is liable for the funds and owes the financial institution for the full amount and any resulting fees. It is difficult to spot a fraudu- lent cashier’s check, but there are some tips that can help you avoid becoming a victim. Know who you are receiv- ing the check from. Be very cau- tious of accepting any type of check from people or businesses that you are not familiar with. Never accept a check for more than the amount required. A common scam is for a fraud- ster to “mistakenly” pay with a check that exceeds the amount required, and then coax the vic- tim into wiring the extra balance back. When the cashier’s check is later found to be fraudulent, the victim is liable for the entire amount. Always be suspicious of someone pressuring you to transfer money or send a wire quickly. A good rule of thumb is: if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. If someone insists on paying you by cashier’s check, ask that the check be issued by a local branch so that you can easily verify its validity. Be wary of any offer that asks you to pay a third party processing fee. If you think you may have received a counterfeit check, immediately contact the issuing bank directly to verify the authenticity. If you fall victim to a cashier’s check scam, be sure to notify the issuing financial insti- tution and the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc com- plaintassistant.gov.

Correction In the front-page article, “Local Schools, County Seek Bond Support,” in the April 23, 2016, issue of the Siuslaw News, the headline incorrect- ly stated that Lane County was seeking a bond. Oregon State University Extension Service is seeking a levy, which the county’s Board of Commissioners agreed to place on the ballot on behalf of the program.
