I am holding in my hands a forged check that a Craigslist scammermailed me. This guy has been spamming me incessantly about all sortsof stuff that I listed. He did not even remember that I always wouldrudely decline his offers to send me extra money and have me wiremoney to "his shipper".So finally I caved in and in response to one posting, he contacted meand mailed me a check. I have no doubt that it is forged, however, what I really am curiousabout is whether maybe I should talk to some authorities, like policefor example. Have those crooks perfected a police-proof method ofreceiving stolen money? Or you think no one will care?My curiosity was also piqued by the fact that the check indeed hadmicroprinting and a watermark. i

:-) I had a chuckle when I noticed that in Oz, the autobody repair shops, they're all called (signs and all) Smash Shops. Smash Repairs Done Here! Expert Smash Repairs, etc.. quite funny.
