Fight the Forgery Racket!
B y F mank J. W ilson
Chief. United State« Secret Service
IF YOU receive army or navy
1 allotment or allowance checks,
or social security or other govern
ment cheeks, here's advice about
taking care of them;
Do NOT endorse your check un
til you are in the presence of the
person you will ask to cash it.
If you endorse your check nnd
lay ¡1 nude ut hunie, not only may
it be stolen, but it may be lost. In
either case, stolen or lost, if it
bears your endorsement and is
cashed by some other person, you
will probably never be able to ob
tain the money represented by
that particular check. Your en-
dorsement is genuine, nnd you
cannot make a claim that the
check was forged. If you make a
false claim against the govern
ment, you can be prosecuted in
the federal courts.
So keep your checks in a safe
place nnd wait until you go to
your bank, or to the store where
you get your checks cashed each
month, before you endorse them.
Remember—it’s up to you to
protect that check!
