ACTUALLY, IT'S WORSE THAN THAT. EVEN AFTER A CHECK CLEARS, YOU ARE STILL NOT SAFE. A LOT OF THESE CHECKS ARE FORGERIES (LEGIT CHECKS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN ISSUED AND CLEARED AND THEN ARE COPIED WITH THE AMOUNT/DATE/NAME CHANGED). AFTER THEY ARE PAID BY THE ISSUING COMPANY (CLEARED) THE SECOND TIME, THEY WILL THEN BE DISCOVERED TO BE FORGERIES AND THE MONEY WILL STILL BE TAKEN OUT OF YOUR BANK ACCOUNT. (I LEARNED THIS FROM MY BROTHER A WHILE BACK). CLEARED DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN WHAT YOU THINK IT DOES!

:I figured that this would be more of a sensible place to post this then BOI so in any event... Some rubber checks floating around..... Watch anything coming from overseas England, France,etc.. In particular checks from First Union bank seem to be coming in from Nigeria and Indonesia and routed through Europe to give it a genuine sense. These guys try to get you to send them the balance before the check clears. I didnt fall for his scam and i hope none of you do either, but apparently they've been getting a few people under this scam from what authorities have told me. WAIT till the checks clear kids. Good Luck
