For sure. I'm not worried about that part. My bank's website says they charge a fee, which I'm going to take out of any new cheque I write.
I'm basically just concerned that 2 months later someone show's up at a moneymart with the cheque, and they cash it for them, then sue me for the amount when the bank doesn't honor it. I researched it a fair bit, and it sounds like this scam is fairly common.
I'm not worried about the bank honoring the cheque, moreso that someone like moneymart would sue me for the money, and win.
