[QUOTE="Top_Fuel, post: 4140079, member: 11244"] A guy selling two bikes on craigslist received an email from a buyer willing to pay $600 for them. The buyer said he would cut a check for $2,000 on his business account and arrange shipping. He told the seller the extra cash was to cover his time and shipping costs. :rollseyes [I][COLOR="DarkOrange"]OK...we all know it's a scam...but keep reading...[/COLOR][/I] The seller receives a Bank Of America check in the mail for $2K. Instead of depositing it at his own bank, he goes to a BOA branch to cash it. [B]Supposedly he has no clue the check was a fake.[/B] :dw: He approaches the teller, shows her the check and asks if there are funds to cover it. The teller says there are funds in the account. He then signs the check and asks her to cash it. What the guy doesn't know is there is a fraud alert on the account advising tellers to watch for phony checks. :uh oh: The bank calls the police. The guy is cuffed, arrested and charged with 3 felonies. He sits in jail until his dad bails him out several hours later. The next day the District Attorney checks the guy's story and drops the charges. Unfortunately for this guy, he now has an arrest record. He has to hire an attorney to have the arrest expunged. After spending [B][SIZE="3"]$14,000 [/SIZE][/B]in attorney fees, his arrest record is cleared. He wants the bank to pay his legal fees, which they have refused to do.
