six weeks for the target bank to reject it. When they do, your bank will demand repayment. They will take it out of your account without asking if they can. There is a forum somewhere I read a few years back where folks were relating their experiences with this type of scam. The saddest stories were from people who now owed the bank thousands of dollars that they did not have. One guy was selling his hot rod to pay school fees for his daughter after he was laid off. After the check bounced 5 weeks later, he had to sell the car for much less to pay the bank off and stay out of court. Still did not have money for his daughter.Knowingly passing a fraudulent check is a crime too.
KKROFFTNow occurs everywhere, simultaneously. But it doesn't have to be experienced the moment it happens. Every now that ever was is still exactly when it was, when it was now. Then, in terms of perception, is nothing more than all the nows that are no longer now. Thus, the difference between now and then is when. --The Waystoppers Users' Manual
