At least once a month they try that crap on me. Once they sent me fake money orders. Took it to the bank and they said they were fake. They always say the same thing and they come from nigeria. What a bunch of losers.

I've worked in banking for a while. What many people do not know is there is a difference between when money may be available in your account and when a check has actually "cleared" (meaning your bank has received payment from the bank the check or money order was drawn on). It can be more then 10 business days before an item may actually be returned due to being an invalid or fradulent item if the banks are geographically far enough apart (most banks wont hold funds for more then 3 business days or so). New regulations like check 21 have reduced this somewhat but many banks still process checks the old fashioned way and this happens quite often.

Long read, but funny in a way. Didn't expect that ending though. Tattoo was hillarious though!

It should usually take the same amount of time. Nowadays some banks wont even cash money orders or cashiers checks unless you have enough to cover the amount in your account just because this is becoming more and more common. Eventually if it was a fake check it will come back to the bank and they will either debit your account or hound you until you bring back the money.

NO! Don't send any money till after a 60 day waiting period. The scam is advanced and the forgeries are good. It's a Nigerian scam.

Don't even bother cause you will still pay fees to find out they are bogus.

EXACTLY

They can say it's good up front and then a month or two later they will say it was a good forgery. Then slam you for the money. Unless you can get a legal document saying it's good (which you can't), they don't care. Banks are in the business of money not the business of fairness.

Welcome to the "new world".

Protect yourself. Only you can.
