The year 2020 is now upon us—and word of advice, DO NOT abbreviate 2020 when signing any legal documents. Police have warned that anyone signing important documents or checks with an abbreviation of 2020, i.e. "20," could put themselves at a high risk of fraud. Writing out the date in full, as 2020, on legal documents and checks is highly recommended. Why not abbreviate 2020? By writing out the date as 01/01/20 (January 1, 2020), the date can be fraudulently changed to 2019,
