It is true.. It wasn't quite the same scam, but he deposited the fake cheque, not thinking it's actually get cleared. And it did, so he took the money as a cashiers cheque and put it in a safety deposit box at the same bank that cashed. When the bank realised it was fake, that's when the fun started.0 -

I just got one of those Write-a-Cheque scams as well.
I have no intention of clicking any links in that mail.
Its clearly a scam since I have never even heard of them
before. Just a little concerned that they already know my
email, name and address. Where are they obtaining all this information ?0 -
I received th email. For me it was an invitation to play Tiger Casino for an hour with a potential payout. I had previously played this casino on-line so they already had my name and address.0
