>scam checks... > >so i never actually was going to do it, but i had thought that i could skeptically have my bank wait for it to clear. could i do that or would the bank just deposit it and then charge me when it was found to be counterfeited? > Here's what happens, straight from a visitor to my site that tried it: 1. You deposit the check 2. The bank tries to process it 3. A few weeks later, the check bounces or is more likely found to be counterfeit 4. The bank calls the FBI on YOU If you removed the money, your bank account now has a negative balance and the bank comes after you to retrieve the money. Most banks are pretty hip to it now though, they just tell you it's fake up front. Do not waste your time, just ignore any emails of this nature. -- Everett Barnes http://www.thesamba.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
