By writing your "John-Henry" in this manner, bc hides any tell-tale characteristics of bis own penmanship. This and other trade secrets of the forger were disclosed ta Rotarians last week by John Brown, a representative of Paymaster Cheque-Writers, (Canada) Limited. Mr. Brown's company is an organization wbich specializes in giving advice regarding forgery ta the cbartered banks and assisting police in their fraud department in çonnec- tian with this form of embezzlement whicb he refer- red ta as a "white colar crime". Your signature is as valuable as the keys ta your car as it provides the forger's tool ta tap into your bank account, said Mr. Brown., Rotarians were told aur banks 'are too often blamed by the public for cashing fraudulent cheques wben we really have no one ta blame but ourselves for not taking proper precautions. Mr. Brown advocated extreme care be taken in how we issue and mail cheques for bath personal and business use. One of the forger's greatest allies is aur Canadian postal system. Mare cheques pass tbrougb the post office than any banking institution in the country, he said. AU a forger need do is knock off a gavernment mail box and it's like money in his hand. Did you know a cheque put into one sucb mail box can make up ta seventeen stops before your cancelled cheque is4returned ta yau? This gives the forger seventeen chances ta get bis def t bands on your paper money and your signature. When be daes, your cheque is in the hands of a profession- al and Mr. Brown assured Rotarians tbey are artists at their work. Tbey knaMi what type of mail ta look for and can have your cheque out of a sealed envelope in a matter of seconds witbout tearing it open. Anyone caugbt with a tomn envelope faces a federal rap, bowever, if it is intact they may only be cbarged witb theft under, accarding ta aur Canadian criminal code. Using a set of needie type forcepts called "forger's fingers", Mr. Brown gave Rotarians a demnonstration of just bow quickly, and easily one can extraet a cheque fromn an envelape withaut breaking t4t seal. If the amaunt shawn on your cheque doesn't suit the forger, StLudent's Statesman Interview By Craig de Biais The Canadian Statesman is 125 years aid this year. Mr. James has been working here for 50 years. There are three reporters, an editor and a part time photographer. There are 30 paperboys. The Statesman gives out 7000 papers every Wednesday. Classes are not allowed ta go ta the Statesman because you must be 16, it's insurance regulatians. The printing roomn is at the back of the building. The Stýtesman gets ahl kinids of ads. Ail the ads they get are very interesting. The ads they get neyer concern tragedy involving children. The, Statesman get the paper from' Spruce Falls in Kapuskasing and the paper is made by Florg9ers' he simple alters or erases the figure and substitutes whatever turns his hand. Mr. Brown explained erasure of ail or water base inks is a "piece of cake" to -the experienced forger. Drugs and forgery have' been found, to be clasely related, said Mr. Brown. Forginig cheques provides the cash with which to support a drug habit. A signature alone may be sold ta a "cheque fence" and the resuit is the same -- easy money. Some forgers will take a wax imprint of a person's signature which will keep in a refrigerator for 60 days and at least 10 copies may be taken from the one impression. Too much trust in a company employee who has access and knawledge of your chequing system can resuit in the employer being ripped off to just about any tune. Stories about the long service "girl Friday" who -absconded the country with a good chunk of her employer's money are not fictitious, accarding to Mr. Brown. They do accur and can only be prevented when an employer maintains monthly overaîl contraI of lis books. SAbout this time last year, a forger working the Peter- borough-Lindsay area managed to, dupe individuals and busînesses out of a quarter of a million dollars. He was subsequently appre- hended, however, our criminal code doesn't levy sufficiently stiff penalties for forgery. On a fîrst offense a forger is likely to draw a suspended sentence. A repeat offender will not receive more than a three year term. and Mr. Brown cited one unusual example where a convicted forger was sentenced to six months working with the Salvation Army to which Rotarian and Salvation Army Captain Doug Lewis gave a hearty "hallelujah! " Becoming a victim of forgery is an everyday threat but how does a persan protect/ himself? Some of Mr. Brown's, advice included mailing your cheques in your personal stationary as opposed to the pre-addressed envelopes pro- vided by the government and businesses which would indicate a payment may be enclnsed. A preventive measure for businesses is the utilization of the cheque writing machines marketed by. Mr. Brown's company which provide cheques that are perforated, imprînted and insured. Despite Mr. Brown's suggested precautionary mieasures, he left Rotarians- with the unreassuring words, "If a forger really wants ta get yau he will find a way to beat any system." The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, August 1, 1979 7 Trad Seret atRotary This is just how easy it is for a fraud artist to remove a cheque fromn a sealed envelope as demionstrated by Rotary guest speaker John Brown, an employee of Paymaster Cheque Writers (Canada) Lîited.
