Tips
Just a few things to be suspicious of when accepting a check:
- Starter checks
- Temporary, expired, or out-of state driver's licenses
- Department of Public Safety ID Cards (intended for senior citizens and the disabled)
- Anyone who cannot produce a driver's license
- Any variation between the information on the check, the ID produced and/or the check writer.
Remember to always keep a copy of everything that you send to the District Attorney's Office - Hot Checks Section.
