To you (and everybody else who replied).

I KNOW THIS IS A SCAM. I have read where they send people checks, the people deposit the checks, then the people wire money (from their own personal accounts), then the checks bounce, AND THE PERSON IS OUT THEIR OWN MONEY, PLUS THE BOUNCED CHECK.

I had heard of this. Alan is on SO MANY MAILING LISTS, well, it's driving me crazy.

Tomorow I am going to our bank and show them. I will make copies as suggested.

I just wonder WHAT THE NEXT SCAM TO BEFALL MY HOUSE will be???

Good Lord.

And to Blessings2You . Yes, Alan called the phone number that was on the check, and the person on the other end knew the exact amount of the check and told Alan "the check will clear".

yeah, and I'll sell someone the Brooklyn Bridge!!

thanks to you all

Melody
