Hi, There are some very sophisticated fraud detection packages. With the advent of Check 21 some of the check kiting detection software will have to be re-written. The check kiting detection software I'm familiar with was written in assembler but I imagine there's more contemporary implementations. At the one bank I worked for the manager and his staff lost the tape containing the source code for the check kiting detection package they were responsible for. I'm of the opinion that this tape was valuable but the manager just blew it off like it was nothing. Today I got a letter from a university I applied to explaining that my ss# and other personal information were on a lap top that stolen out of the admissions office. After receiving the letter I requested a fraud alert be place on the credit bureaus. I guess tomorrow I'll go to the bank and request an alert be placed on my accounts there. No wonder id theft is such big business with large institutions being so careless in how they handle things. Paul
