    That little orange barcode on the back lets them trace every machine the letter went through, establishing a trail of evidence as an interstate case.

    Moosmom, I PM'd you. I just read this thread again and I am shaking my head. What a thing to do. This person took advantage of your willingness to help her. I hope it goes to court and comes out in your favor.

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    Every bank I know of will cash checks for people. They may charge a small fee of a dollar or two. The fact that she wanted to send it off to be cashed would have got my attention.

    So sorry this happened to you. People can be so mean.
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    Donna, I'm so sorry that this happened to you. Hopefully this person will be caught and charged so that this won't happen again.

    Is it possible this person just HOPED the check was good and asked you to cash it? I have received checks in the mail before- not real checks...but they look real. Anyhow, if I would have cashed them I would have signed up for something, or had a cash advance, or something like that....

    Surely the person knew you would have had to wait for the check to clear before sending her cash for $3700, right?

    Donna, you didn't lose a friend - it seems you never had one if she would do something like this to you.

    I agree - report her - and fast. If she thinks she got away with this - then she will try again with others.

    I know this must be painful for you - but you are being too good.

    Donna and her babies do come first!

    This type of scam is very common on-line, especially on Craigslist.
    I hope you do take this to court, though. She was never a friend to you at all if she did this. Good luck!
    You're the one sure thing I've found so you better stick around...
