COVER to Nu-Way this Police Detective Talks About Bad Check Artists "The bad check artist is a professional man and is proud of his profession." So stated Medford Police Detective Lt. Lyle Perkins in a talk Thurs day evening at the Girls Com munity club. Speaking on the bad check passer and what the public can do to assist the law en forcement agencies in appre hending them, the officer also stressed rules that should be followed by persons who ac cept checks for cashing. The speech was given be fore the Medford Business and Professional Women's club. "Between $7 , and $8 hun dred million worth of fic titious and forged checks were passed during 1958," the lieutenant reported, "and that amount represents the report ed total. Many bad checks are not reported to authorities." In citing several cases which occurred in Medford, Lt. Perkins explained that bad check artists operate in va rious ways. He said that it wasn't uncommon for a per son to remain in town for several months, making friends and meeting business men before flooding the area with fictitious checks and then leaving. Methods Explained Lieutenant Perkins explain ed that it was common for the bad check artist to print his own checks after first steal ing one from a business for use as a sample. His equip ment can also include notary seals, checfc protectors, or company seals. "The police can not appre hend the bad check passer until they are notified by the bank or company involved The use of state wide tele type has assisted greatly local enforcement in the catching of these persons, the officer explained. Locally the Medford police department and the Credit Bureau of Medford have co operated in organizing the check flash system. Using this system businesses throughout the area may be alerted to the presence of a bad check passer in the area. The officer explained that as soon as the police are noti fied of a fictitious or forged check being passed in the area they call three or four busi- year! IS 5 i i ;- . H - Is j ; ; I H. D. CHRISTENSEN nesses who in turn contact the same number. Through this system the businesses may be alerted in a short time. The local police department each year passes out literature to each store in town offering suggestions about- cashing checks. Residents who are cashing checks can assist the stores by offering indentif ica- tion when requested for it. The officer added that not one but several types of identi fication should be used -in establishing identification be fore a check is cashed. Suggestions Made The officer made several suggestions that should be fol lowed by persons who are ac cepting checks. They include: 1. Do. not be afraid to ask questions about the check you are asked to cash; . 2. Never cash" a check for a stranger until positive identification is established, insist on local references and then check them carefully; 3. Do , not rely entirely on lodge cards, social security cards and op erators licenses as positive identification; 4. The check passer works fast, take time to investigate each check pre sented; 5i Do not cash checks showing any alterations; 6. Al ways be sure the endorsement is made in your presence, if the check has already been endorsed, have it re-endorsed; 7. Refuse to cash a check on an out-of-town firm or bank unless you are absolutely cer tain of the passer's identity and the validity of the check itself; 8. Refuse to cash a check if the firm name is rubber stamped or typewrit ten unless you personally know botri the maker and the payee. 9. Do not cash checks for juveniles; 10. Do not cash counter checks unless you know the identity of the pas ser, be suspicious of number ed counter checks; 11. Use same precaution ' in cashing checks that appear to be cash iers' checks or a certified checks as you would, other checks; and 12. If the passer has an automobile and there is doubt in your mind about the validity of the check, at tempt to secure the license number " whether or not you cash the check,: then ' notify the police. ; The local officer added that just because a check is a state or federal government one, it does not mean that it is always good. : He added that in accepting identification when cashing checks write such numbers as operators license, etc. on the back of the check. The officer showed samples of various fictitious and forged checks that had been turned over to the police for investigation. ' Following the talk a ques tion and answer period was held. The speaker was introduced by Mrs. Lola Milhoan, finance committee chairman, who was in charge of the program.
