Anybody can get this from your discarded checks in the trash. They still have to get past the bank.... There they need an authorized signature for ACH on file to get to your funds. Don't be so paranoid.
I worked for a while at First Data, biggest cc processor in the country.
You would be surprised what you can do with checks.
One a side note, here's a little story about why you should be wary of any merchant processor that doesn't check out their merchants:
Guy stole a cc swiper, opened a merchant acct, flew to another country and start charging thos cc #'s found on the cc swiper, all kinds of crazy amounts. Only way the cops found him, they were chasing a perp thru his floor, busted his door down, and saw all these cc machines around.....lol....busted!
