Just found a good site for help with fake check frauds. Created by the nonprofit National Consumers League (NCL), Fakechecks.org includes fraud tests for work at home, foreign business, overpayment, lottery/sweepstakes, rental and suitor offers. Pretty basic questions, like would a legit company ever offer a stranger a job over the Internet? (Of course not.) But criminals are having a field day with today's economy wherein people are desperate for paying work.
So for those 99.5% finding this blog through searches for information on fake check scams, remember, there are multiple reasons you would be approached to cash checks from strange business offers: The criminals are laundering money; the criminals want your money from your bank account; and/or they want sell your bank accounts to others.
