And whenever a company - even overseas ones - request a check/cheque to "verify ownership" of a checking or current account. I'm like -- what century do you live in? Since when a) is that an appropriate way to verify an account, and b) does anyone even use cheques anymore?! Most banks don't even issue them anymore and most people don't have them.
