Check forging. Was a big problem years ago when checks were widely used; These days they're almost dead so; (See 'Catch me if you can' film if you didn't already!);

In the UK if I write a check my bank checks with me before honouring it. They don’t just let you wave a piece of paper with numbers on it and empty the account lol.

In the UK fraud barely gets noticed by police. In USA there's serious jail time for check fraud

There's no serious jail time for it in the UK because the system doesn't let you do it in the first place!
