Absolutely unbelievable! This dumbo prepared himself a document that purports to be a private money order for $835 and sent it to a bank to pay a debt he owed. As if that wasn't bad enough he used his social for the account number and a U.S. Treasury Department offset account as the routing number! They returned it marked fraud. When it came back he went on to a google e-group and remarked WHOOPS!See the actual returned money order and read the rest of the story by clicking on my google docs link below.
Bill: You think that is bad . . . my law firm got a check drawn on Soveriegn Bank for a little over 375k. It was counterfeit. Guy sent it from Toronto FedEx, email headers opened as from Toronto with full IP address, and he wrote a note along with the payment. Anyone knows an international air bill is sealed in plastic on a Fed Ex package. That doesn't even account for the check and corresponding communication. I turned it over to the Postal Inspectors and the Secret Service.
The problem is that gullible people will believe almost anything. It don't even have to make common sense. In fact, it seems like the more outrageous an idea is the more believers it attracts.
