I am holding in my hands a forged check that a Craigslist scammer mailed me. This guy has been spamming me incessantly about all sorts of stuff that I listed. He did not even remember that I always would rudely decline his offers to send me extra money and have me wire money to "his shipper".
So finally I caved in and in response to one posting, he contacted me and mailed me a check.
I have no doubt that it is forged, however, what I really am curious about is whether maybe I should talk to some authorities, like police for example. Have those crooks perfected a police-proof method of receiving stolen money? Or you think no one will care?
My curiosity was also piqued by the fact that the check indeed had microprinting and a watermark.
