Notice Regarding Presentation of Checks

From Dwayne Runmney (PGER):
​All, 

Just a reminder that when donations are given out in a form of a check, we need to be careful that when pictures are taken that the face of the check should not be visible. This day and age fraudulent individuals have many ways to compromise our accounts, In a recent google searched of “The Wyoming Elks Association” images, I came across an image of check being handed out and I was able to enhance the image and read the signature and partial account number. Those people trying to gain access to your account will have a lot more equipment than I have to enhance images like this one. I am sure that this picture could be enhanced and read by certain individuals.

Facebook and other media is becoming very popular for lodges to use to show the great work being accomplished by the Elks. Donations like these are to be celebrated, but we need to be more cautious. Please inform all you committees.

Thanks\Jerry Fritz, WEA Secretary
