I've had many of the same scripted e-mails when I've offered something for sale on the internet. Here's the the result of one (I have many more!)

Is that printed on an inkjet printer??

Dave T,
There are a couple of things wrong with that check. A certified check from Key bank should have a perforation on the left hand side and I believe they are actually in the color red not blue. The image quality is horrible, meaning that it is not crisp and is a home print job. I use to work for a bank so the check looks quite a bit off. Anytime they want it today, are asking for your price without seeing it, and there english seems off, it most likely is something you want to stay away from.

Wish I would have thought about having them send me a check as a souvineer... LOL...

I am aware of all of these checks being bad, I just collect them as sort of a hobby. I have over $100,000 in checks now and the total keeps rising.:D

:thumbsup: WOWWWWWW :thumbsup: That is crazy, but just think how many people have actually tried to cash or deposit them and sent the merchandise. I use to hear all the horror stories when I worked at the bank. It was very sad at times when people really got screwed over and no way of getting their stuff back.
