No way to tell until it is presented for payment to the bank that issued it, and even then it may take a few days before a forgery is discovered. Anyone can print a fake check (and a real one) with a home computer.

You should only accept checks from people you know, or if you have sufficient recourse against whoever gives you a check for a payment. NEVER, EVER take a check from a stranger if you sell a car or any other big ticket item. If they insist on a check, you can go to the bank and cash it before you give the item to them.

Can someone take money from your bank account by only having the account number and routing number?

No, people cannot take money from your account using only your account number and routing number - that information exists on every check that you write, so anyone to whom you send a check would then have unlimited access to your account if that was all it took. If, however, you have given someone a signed form allowing pre-authorized withdrawals (for bill payment purposes) then they can take money from your account using only the account number and routing number.


ABA number for transfer wire?

ABA is also known as the routing number of the bank branch. If the transfer is international (from outside the US), the ABA routing number is not applicable. However, if the wire transfer is coming in, from outside the US, to the US, then the ABA Routing Number would be applicable. The routing number is usually found on your checkbook. Alternatively, you should call your bank branch for it.


Direct Deposit paycheck stubs that include my address name last four digits of SS and last four digits of bank account number accidentally thrown away into the trash anything I should worry about?

Nothing to be seriously concerned about because a social security number contains 9 numbers and the last 4 digits are just identifying you personally. No one would be able to open a credit card or bank account without your full social security number. The last 4 numbers of a bank account would not matter either as the entire number contains 12 numbers. Your name and address would not matter unless they also had your entire bank account number and/or social security number. If you should feel unsafe you're entitled to one free credit report per year from Equifax, Transunion, and Experian.

How is accounting information in financial statements confusing?

If a person is unfamiliar with the banking or accounting world it looks like nothing but numbers to them. Confusing numbers at that. Generally, the account holder's account number is pretty easy to find but on some statements, that is not the case. If the account number, routing number and invoice number, for instance, are all in the same area of that statement, that would be very confusing.
