Frederick Emerson Peters (1885-1959) was an United States impostor who wrote bad check (disambiguation)s masquerading as scholars and famous people. In an age before mass communication, few store owners bothered to ID check writers.

Peters began his career of passing phony checks around 1902 when he presented himself as Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. II, the son of the US president. He used fraudulent checks for his purchases, writing them to round numbers just a couple of dollars above the price of the purchase. Many of the fooled businesses were still impressed and even framed the checks as mementos.

Peters was eventually arrested in 1915 and sentenced to ten years in prison. He took charge of the prison library and used it to study various subjects to further his future plans.

When he was released he took a role of antique expert "R.A. Coleman" of the American Peace Society. He visited antique shops ostensibly to buy items for museum collections and again rounded off checks for his "commission". As "J.J. Morton", he bought books for universities.

Over the following years he impersonated real people like Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Booth Tarkington and Gifford Pinchot II. He was also jailed many times but always returned to his old activities later. Further research would be needed to clarify if he was the same Frederick Emerson Peters who on July 2, 1951 became the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives by year, 1951 listed by the FBI, and who was then arrested by two FBI agents when they recognized him in a Washington, D. C. hotel lobby on January 15, 1952.

When asked why he kept returning to crime, Peters gave a classic response: "It would require the rock-like will of the Sphynx to resist such temptation." When he was found dead in 1959, he had five checks on his pockets - all of them written for different names.
