Forging check this day and age.

Would it be possible for someone to pull a stunt like in this movie off, in this day and age? Or forge a check at all? Just curious, if stuff like this still happens.

Abagnale actually helped introduce a lot of the safety features currently used in checks to prevent such things from happening. Plus he's created a technique for forgery proof payroll checks.

Ironically a lot of the safety measures used to keep checks secure were created in part due to Abagnale. That's one of the things his company does.
