Fake checks are becoming more commonplace, particularly for existing businesses as well as those looking to set up a business on their own. Josh Planos with the Better Business Bureau says it usually happens between a supposed parent company and an aspiring business owner who trusts the offer and the money being provided to them to get started.
 
”Unfortunately, a lot of times the checks will not bounce until weeks after the fact, so it’s very fruitful if you have quick and immediate communication with someone specifically if they are working remotely for your supposed company,” Planos said. “Fake checks are essentially counterfeited checks or usually copies of business checks from real companies.”
