I'll give you an update another.

I'm on a private forum/list for Computer independants..

..one shop recently WAS SENT a Certified Check, made out to him, for the purchase of a quantity of hard drives... not a letter offering one, not a proposal... but a check made out to his business... unsolicited.

Took it to the bank and had them check it... the check was a real certified check, the account was good, had the funds.
So he deposited it.

...it bounced.

No goods were sent; all he was out was the bounce fees.... but the amount was sufficiently high to roll the dice.

The check, by the way, was from Nigeria.
