forged check
Counterfeit bank payment
A forged check is a check bearing a fraudulent signature—either the account holder's name written by someone else without authorization, or an endorsement faked by someone other than the intended recipient.
Forging checks is a crime, and banks typically investigate before honoring suspicious instruments: The teller flagged what appeared to be a forged check.
