Yep... refer to my recent post to Spruell...
If you EVER get one of these highly suspicious checks or money orders, PLEASE have the bank tellers do a courtesy clearance check on it BEFORE you attempt to deposit it into your account (or try to cash it).
Once you try to cash it YOU become the SUSPECT!
Once you complete deposit of it into your account, YOUR account will be the one frozen for criminal investigation!
Believe me, I have seen more tears shed from grown women and men who just couldn't beleive they were so ignorant as to be a victim of this, and have their entire financial profile locked down and screwed up for weeks until the entire mess got sorted out.
It will continue to happen forever because there are SO many gullible and naieve people in this world who just don't get it...?
