Sorta like some fellers in the Philippines......They knew that I received a lot of U.S. gov't related checks through my business in Manila. One of them approached me about "borrowing" the check for a couple of days......and then they would return the original to me. Then I was to cash my check like normal, and the next day they would submit copies at different banks around the country and pay me 20%........I really didn't think that would be too smart.:D

Damn - now China and London are on to me
