I am holding in my hands a forged check that a Craigslist scammer
mailed me. This guy has been spamming me incessantly about all sorts
of stuff that I listed. He did not even remember that I always would
rudely decline his offers to send me extra money and have me wire
money to "his shipper".

So finally I caved in and in response to one posting, he contacted me
and mailed me a check.

I have no doubt that it is forged, however, what I really am curious
about is whether maybe I should talk to some authorities, like police
for example. Have those crooks perfected a police-proof method of
receiving stolen money? Or you think no one will care?

My curiosity was also piqued by the fact that the check indeed had
microprinting and a watermark.

Take the check and the envelope it came in to the post office and tell
them you want to speak to the postal inspector. Mailing a bad check is
a federal crime. The postal inspectors are real cops, and they DO
collect on this sort of stuff.

Dave Sobel told me that the ONLY ways to pay him are to either put
cash in his hand or mail him a check, for that very reason. He said
that he had great success with the post office cops collecting on bad
checks.
