Man: 1, Bank: 0
Posted by Chris
What started as a quick shot online to check my email on Saturday night, turned into reading this incredible, and very lengthy, recount. If you are pressed for time, you'll want to avoid clicking the link to the story below (at least come back when you have some time to spend). You're gonna want to read this one :-)
Man 1, Bank 0: Guy deposits junk mail check for $95,093.35, and gets it!
"I was one of thousands of people around the country who received a 'junk mail' letter touting a get-rich quick method." ... "That letter also came with a check for the same amount, $95,093.35. Everything about the check looked real except for the words 'non-negotiable for cash' type in the top right hand corner."

I read this a long time go… crazy story. I’m sure that banks and others offering those “checks” have learned to cover their bases since.
