This is 100% the fact. There has been a massive uprise in bank draft fraud. I can say that I work within the industry and it's no longer cheques that are the issue, but bank drafts. Fraudsters are very good at what they do and it is minute details that have gotten through in the past that have ruined the trust system for most.
We used to be good at connecting with other banks to verify bank draft information, however unless you have a phone number for your local bank, good luck trying to get in contact with any bank that isn't a call centre
