I had a good one 3 years ago. They sent two money orders for $2,500.00 each. They looked as real as can be and the scenario was the same as what you explained with your incident. I was to take out my portion which was $500 then send the rest back to them via western union. Well I suspected a scam from the start. I had them send payment to my place of employment. Then the checks came in a brown envelope the color of a brown grocery bag with not return address. Well I cashed the checks and sat on them like they weren't in my bank account. All this time (7 days) the scammers kept emailling me threatening to take me to court, etc. Well on the 8th day I told my banker what was going on and I was told they would check into the checks. The next day by 9:30am my banker called and told me not to do anything because the checks were fake. I never responded to any more emails from the scammers and they quit emailing also. A year later they tried it again and I told them in my first email; "You don't want to do business with me and I dont' want to do business with you".
I never heard any more since then. The post officer master and my banker told me I was one of the lucky ones because people fall for this type scam all the time. The checks looked real but the heat sensitive dot that's supposed to change color with heat did not change colors.
For all of you who read this proceed with caution on any type of check!!

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
