It all starts
when someone gives you a realistic-looking check or money
order and asks you to wire them money somewhere in return.
It's phony, and so is the person's story, but that may take
weeks-even months-to discover. Now your bank or credit union
wants the money back. See, the financial institution is
required to give you access to the funds you deposit within a
few days, but they can't be sure the check is valid by then.
Guess what? You're responsible for the checks or money orders
that you deposit. That's how the scam works. Learn
more at FakeChecks.
