Glad I read this. I would have never imagined someone doing this, guess I'm just as gullible. At least now I'll be forewarned. Sorry something like this had to happen to you, leaves a bitter taste in your mouth when it's a friend.

If the check was made out to her, how could you cash it? Especially for that amount of money?

Anyone can sign a check over to someone else, so the second person can cash it, or deposit it. It's not uncommon, really.

Right, if the check is signed and it was lost, someone found it and cashed it... they are out that money... a endorsed check is the same as cash....

That is a terriable way to do someone you have befriended. I guess they think good friends are a dime a dozen and will move on to the next one.

BUT, a lot of "friends" are only friends so they can set you up to screw you over... then they move on to the next one.

Any twit can have a checking account! Believe me I know, I'm related to one! Worst case she could have taken the check to a check cashing office. Believe me they know every trick and she didn't take it there because they would know it was fraudulant. I am suspicious of any check frankly. I won't accept travelers checks because they are more often than not counterfeit.
I always think that if these people spent half the energy they spent screwing people over, they'd make a decent living.

Please press charges so she doesn't ruin someone else's life.

A couple of weeks ago I got her a calling card for her cellphone so she'd have minutes in case of an emergency. And for her son's birthday a couple years ago (she didn't have money to buy him anything) I went out and bought him an MP3 player.

I'm not a rich person, in fact I'm on a fixed income, but a kid not having anything to open on his birthday just didn't sit well with me.

This is someone you've known for a COUPLE OF YEARS??? That's awful!! Well, I mean, it's awful under any circumstances, but really! How long had this been in the works?? I am stunned - just not in my realm of thinking that people do this to each other. I guess I'm naive.

I'm so sorry you were duped like this; it just makes it a bit more difficult to help people who really need it, and that's the real shame. I'm glad it only ended up being $100. I just can't imagine who does things like that.
