Normally with cheques you will check that the owner of the cheque is the person signing and therefore proff of signature, normally on the supporting debit card is good. The debit card or credit card used to support is the presentors and is in date and does not show VOID through the signature. You will check the dat on the cheque is day of presentation, efrrors are signedd by the presentor, that the words (monitary value) is correct and that the numbers in the pay box match. You will watch the signature of the cheque is made in front of you and challange any cheque pre-signed by asking for a sample signature normally on a different piece of paper. At that stage that is all you can do to accept. However, cheques are less frequently used these days as debit cards are faster and the transaction is verified for the seller quickly, plus cards that are void/stolen have their numbers stored in a"hot card file" located inside the back office system.
