On August 16, 2017, Dean Bank was notified of the appearance of a counterfeit Dean Bank Money Order. The bank obtained a photocopy of the Money Order, faxed by a merchant out of Mississippi. Since that call, the Bank has been contacted by other merchants reporting a similar issue. All who have called so far are from southern states. More recently, the bank has been notified of the appearance of a number of fraudulent Treasurer's Checks as well. <\/p>\n
Counterfeit Money Order Components: <\/strong><\/p>\n 1. They are not signed – all have an erroneous address typed on the signature line.
