Bought a couple of things off Ebay recently where the seller wanted a
cheque and didn't have his address with Ebay. Fine - apart from being a
bore doing the paperwork and slow.
But what got me was both of them sent their addresses by e-mail in this
format:-

joe bloggs 15 smith street bloggsvillage east bloggsville ab1 cd2

which means I can't just cut and paste onto the envelope.

And would that be bloggsvillage east, or east bloggsville?

And why would someone want a cheque but not give details for an electronic
transfer?

==================================
If your cheques are the same as mine then both now have a cheque bearing
your Account number, Sort code and your signature. That's quite enough to
enable identity theft. Keep an eye on your account.

Cheques have always had that info on them .
