Banks in the United States may hold personal and business checks from other banks, and may hold any type of check if the depositor's account history warrants.

What happens to a person who writes a NSF check to a bank?

First, lets start out with what happens to you, the recipient of the "bad" check. When you go to the bank and deposit the check, they cannot tell right away if the check is bad, or that the person's account has insufficient funds to cover the amount of the check. This is why banks usually place a hold personal check deposits. But, if they do credit your account right away, and then a couple of days later, the check "bounces", those funds will be taken back out of your account, and you will probably be charged a Returned Check Fee.As for the person who wrote the bad check, whether it was to a person, or a business, a number of things could happen-each state has its own specific laws, but I will use California's laws as an example. If you willfully write a check, knowing you don't have enough money in the bank to cover it, you are considered guilty of fraud. However, if you were to end up in court, the prosecutor would have to prove that you INTENDED to defraud that person, or business. Of course, there are many steps that are taken before this-you don't automatically get thrown in jail and into a courtroom. But this is the worst case scenario, with the worst case punishment being up to a year in county jail/prison (depending on the amount of the check). But, for first time offenders, there is a diversion program you enter, in lieu of jail time. You can also be sued in civil court...they are really cracking down on check fraud, and writing "bad checks". It used to be that you just couldn't write a check at that store anymore, but times, they are a' changin!

If a notary stamps a document for a corporation and they are a part of that corporation is that fraud?

Probably not. The notary in most American states is licensed by the secretary of state to perform notarial duties according to local statutes and regulations and it makes no difference who the "client" is. The notary must carry out the procedures as required by law.

On the other hand, if the notary is "ordered" to violate the regulations and does so to keep his or her job, then it may not be fraud, but it is certainly a crime that needs to be dealt with appropriately.

A notary is just assuring the person signing the document is the one signing the document. It does not assure anything about the content of the document...it can be "I swear I am not John Smith"...signed by John Smith and notarized by a notary assuring that it is indeed John Smith signing. So what could be the fraud the notary would commit?

What security steps could be adopted by one company to be sure it can avoid from website fraud?

Stealing graphics from an official site is common for phishers, in order to make their emails and sites appear official.

Several things you should do is:

  • Protect forms on your site from entries that reveal code. Limit entries to not include commands but to be within the specs needed for users to enter appropriate information.
  • Do not practice anything that is common to phishers...as in emailing people asking for personal information, directing them to a site. Once these things are universal and universally known, it will vastly help in stopping phishing. If you need information from a customer, advise them to initiate steps for contact.
  • Use security software and keep it updated. Keep operating systems and all software updated.
  • It is worth it to have your IT person educated specifically in Security. SANS is a good place to start. New threats constantly arise.

What is GSM gateway fraud?

There is no such thing as GSM gateway fraud. It is the cell phone carriers who are calling it as a gateway fraud. There is a gadget that is called a GSM gateway, which is basically a cellphone (GSM module), that can connect to the internet. What it does is to help you save international long distance calls, by using the internet. Of course the cell phone carriers are not happy about it since they can no longer earn money from your international long distance calls. That is why cell phone carriers will say that it is a "GSM gateway fraud". If it is true that GSM gateway calls are fraud, then internet is also a fraud, VOIP calls are also fraud, since they bypassed the international gateways of local carriers, that includes cell phone carrier and PSTN carriers.

What are the effects of errors and fraud?

The effects of errors varies by the severity of those errors and the nature of the context in which they are committed. Certain errors (for example, accidentally losing 10 ballots in an election decided by a 123,000 vote margin, or accidentally making a subtraction error in a homework assignment) have little-to-no real-world effect while other errors (for example, a computer programming error in a weapons system which causes a rocket to miss its military target but hit a civilian population instead) have grave and serious effects. The effect of fraud is generally that costs of goods and services are artificially raised to compensate for the monies lost due to the fraudulent activity. For example, if I sell my household furniture but then put in an insurance claim indicating that it was stolen, that's fraud on my part. If the insurance company pays the claim, then it needs to raise the insurance rates which it charges to compensate.

What are Michigan Laws governing Prescripttion Fraud?

Not an easy question to answer. There is no single law or statute that covers that specific crime. There are several offenses that you could be charged with, all having to do with prescription fraud. ANY of several criminal offenses, or a combination of them could be used. (e.g.- If you stole the prescription pad the scrip was written on: Theft or Burglary. If you wrote the scrip and signed the doctor's name: Forgery. If you passed the scrip to the pharmacy: Uttering a Forged Document or Fraud. If you actually received the drugs: Unlawful Possession of a Scheduled Nnarcotic Substance. Etc, etc.)
