Answer 2

In Illinois (and most other states) writing a check with "intent to defraud", that is, a check which he knows will not be paid by the depository (bank) is a crime known as Deceptive Practice, which is a Class A Misdemeanor.
The crime is punishable by imprisonment of up to one year and a fine not to exceed $1,000. A person convicted a second or subsequent time will be guilty of a Class 4 Felony (punishable by imprisonment of one to three years and a fine of up to $10,000).

Failure to have sufficient funds with the depository on which the check is written may be prima facie evidence of "intent to defraud".

Answer 3

Well, it depends on the state, but it is against the law in all of them to write a check that a) you know you don't have money in the bank to cover b) is written on an account you know is closed, c) is stolen from somebody else, d) you have signed someone else's name to or otherwise altered as to the date, amount or payee.

The penalty depends on the amount of the check and why it is fraudulent.

Answer 4

YOU DON'T WRITE THEM !!!
ANYTHING WRITTEN OVER 500.00 IS A FELONY
