How to verify a check-banking?

Question

Is there a website that will break down a check to show what to make sure is accurate and what to look for before cashing/depositing it into an account? Perferably a pic that shows the different areas of a check?

Answer 1

There are several in the link below, but none will do it for free.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheque breaks down a check into its different areas, but won't help verify whether it's legit.
