$1700 check in the mail?!?

Sounds like a great day, right? Too bad the idiot who tried to scam me spelled "bank" "cank."

I made a Craigslist posting a few days ago trying to get rid of an old Ps2 and some games. Someone emailed me that night saying that he wanted everything and even offered me an extra $100 for me to take the add off of the site. I was getting pretty excited, thinking i was about to get a $300 pay day, and then things started getting sketch. The person told me he was on a business trip so his secretary would have to send me the check, and then he went on to tell me that he was sending me an extra $1400 to pay the movers who were coming to get it, and that I would need to do that as soon as I deposited the check. Thinking it was pretty sketch I took the check to the bank and it was obviously fake.

I can't really think of a lesson this has taught me, i just thought it was pretty comical.


but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31
