The guy did a great job...probably should be a cop himself.

Only downside...he is a Mac user (and way too "into" Macs.):)

Only a Mac user would turn that into a Mac commercial... (count the number of PC slams ;))

I'd be more sceptical. Our legal system is designed to defend the criminal against the victim's actions.


Hope this scum rots in real jail.

Kinda makes you wonder about those Mac commercials where the PC is just too hard and frustrating to master. Most fraud artists tend to pick groups of people (the elderly, for example, Mac users, apparently) that they feel will be easy marks… :)

Joking of course. No letter bombs or stalking please.

People should wait for ANY check or money order to clear, not just personal checks.
