Farm Bureau Bank News ABA Participating in Campaign to Combat Fake Check Scams

ABA is part of a Consumer Federation of America task force that launched a campaign yesterday to combat fake check scams. The campaign includes a Web site -- www.fakechecks.org -- that describes the most common fake check scams and provides interviews with victims. A December 2008 Opinion Research Corp. survey showed that nearly one-third of all adult Americans have been approached with fake check scams, and about 4.5 million have fallen for them. The most common scams involve sweepstakes/lotteries, grants and work-at-home opportunities. Read more about the campaign. Read about fake check scams. For more information, contact ABA’s Margot Mohsberg.
