How can I tell if a check is certified?

Question

I received a check for 2800,but I am having a hard time telling signs that it is legit.

Answer 1

If it doesn't have the original stamp from the bank as well as other ink marks on it from the print out the bank needs to do it may not be legit. Also you can take the check to many banks and they can run a check for authenticity for free. This has happened to many people so I would rather be safe then sorry having to pay your bank back plus fees for returned checks. Good Luck!
