I deposited a bunch of checks today for the first time in probably 14 years. I've always done direct deposit. So when doing the check I had to endorse it and I did it right there with the teller watching. She looked at the check and looked at her monitor. She told me that my signatures didn't match.

She called her manager that came over and confirmed, the signatures didn't match. So then he warned me what could happen upon further inspection later. The check could get rejected and I could be charged with fraud.

I remember the last time I voted, I saw my voter's signature compared to my current signature and they had changed in so many years. I even told the voter employee I wouldn't let me pass with that big of a signature change. She said oh you're okay.

Now with this teller and her manager finally call me on it. I'm only depositing a check, not cashing it. They didn't ask for ID. They asked if I still wanted to deposit the check with that signature.

I'm worried that I'll get busted for fraud with my own signature. They asked me if I still wanted to deposit the check in the way that a store will let you shoplift from it, because its not shoplifting until you leave with stolen goods.

Worried.
