Cheques and money orders recieved from scammers!
@fuhgettaboudit02.
What you are suggesting is illegal and could land any one who tries it in jail!
It is foolish to do things like this! as many have been arrested!
Here is some good advice from a law enforcement officer on AFI Regarding just being in possession of a forged instrument! Like a bad cheque or money order etc.

Possession of them is a Federal offense that carries a 15 year sentence. Counterfeit Postal Money Orders are classified as legal US Currency, issued by the government, and just like counterfeit money, having it in your possession is illegal.

You have received excellent advice from Awareriskinc and tidal74.!!!
It would make sense to heed them!
Yes, we have heard of quite a few people being arrested and even going to jail for doing what you suggest !
You can learn more about these arrested victims at.

If ANY one receives these cheques, money orders etc, then take them along with copies of the emails to the nearest post office and turn them over to the Post Master, if you live in USA!
Do NOT try to cash them as you could be in a lot of trouble!! Just do NOT do it ! It is NOT worth it!
