person A: So I get bogus mail all the time including fake checks and all that jazz. Anyway_comma_ I thought one I got the other day was bogus too and left it on my counter.
person B: Why would you always get fake checks? That would drive me crazy.
person A: Well its like work at home scams_comma_ and they want you to cash the check and send back a money order and then the check bounces leaving them with money and you in a bad situation. It actually wasn't bogus. It was a $500 settlement check from a lawsuit against my employer from 5 years ago!
person B: Well that was a surprise I bet.
