Have you been trained in the proper techniques for detecting counterfeit cash and fraudulent checks?

"I have received formal training in my current role and am very confident in my ability to detect counterfeit cash and fraudulent checks. There are many steps to take with cash, including looking for raised printing, blurry borders, lack of red and blue threads, watermark authenticity, and more. Checks can be a bit trickier, so I first look for a perforated edge, the check number, and the bank's logo where the check originated. Rest assured that I am meticulous and keen on detail."

"Fraudulent checks can be a challenge to detect. One of the most important factors is the MICR line, which is at the bottom of every authentic check. When running my finger over the ink on the MICR line, it should feel smooth. On many fake checks, this line will feel bumpy and raised. When it comes to counterfeit cash, I look at the quality of the paper, how the watermark reacts to the light, and its corresponding numbers. I have strong attention to detail and will be very careful with every transaction I complete at Navy Federal Credit Union."
