I got the same contact info and followed up on the addresses and tel numbers. Nothing worked.
The check was marked "certified check" in the memo filed. Written for $2,400 for a $500 purchase with the balance going to different parties, again unverifiable. There were multiple communications as to whether the check was received and funds wired. There was no concern for the product that initiated the "purchase".
The check was written from MoGuide Academy Inc. in Lawrenceville, GA. The bank was Branch Banking & Trust in Lawrenceville this is a real bank. I didn't check available funds. Too much other info didn't work to bother.
I called the local police, they do not even try to follow up on these. Also spoke to a sheriff friend who does follow I-Net crimes. Way to hard to track to bother with.
My banker told me that it can take 30-60 days to really know that a check won't come back. He did offer to cash it and then wait and see.
Seller Beware!
Jim
