Real simply, here's what happened during a loan, forgery. But we couldn't prove it in a court of law, even with a handwriting expert. That's when I learned about the importance of using the right pen to sign documents.
Actually is pretty easy to trace someone's signature on to a document. There is only one way to stop someone from doing that and putting YOUR name on an agreement. Always use a felt pen to sign. I learned that if a bad guy, or bad partner or employee, traces your name on to a document with a ball point pen, there is generally no difference in how the signature looks. But if you trace using a felt tip pen, the signature will be fatter because the pen moves more slowly than usual.
The only way to prove this, though, is to always use a felt pen. Then if someone shows up with a forged document, you just need to produce evidence that you always sign with one type of pen.
This tip might sound a little crazy, and like I said, if it hadn't happened to a new client of mine I'd probably never have believed it myself. But it did happen. I don't want this to happen to you.
Pick up a felt tip pen or a fountain pen (something that absorbs into the paper) today and start the habit of always using that pen to sign. I hope you never have to go through what my client did with a previous crook. But if you do, be ready to prove that's not your signature!
