You would not believe how many people fall for scams. I was listening on the radio about this woman who fell for the cashiers' check scam, where all she has to do it cash the check and send half the money to this oversees address and she can keep the other. Anybody that would do something like that deserves to be busted anyway, for who in their right mind would send somebody a check and tell them they can keep half of it if they'd just send the other half? I mean...it takes a crooked mind in the first place I think, but anyway...this woman sent $3400 back to this address she got the check from, and kept and spent the other $3400 in the period of a week...and when the bank called back, they said that they wanted their money back because the check was fake and that made her responsible.
The funny thing was about this lady...she could not understand why she was held accountable!!!
And she had to pay the full amount back, not just the part she spent, but the part she had sent away.
I laugh at that.
