Ach, bad enough the damn NY flavor ban. My daughter, bless her heart, tried to be a good person when an elderly lady approached her in her bank branch ad needed help cashing a cashier's check. She needed it for medicine (right) but didn't have a bank account, and could my daughter please cash it for her? Even offered my daughter part of it to entice her to help. My daughter of course fell for it and did the "Oh no, of course I'll help you. No need to give me anything, you need it".
Fake cashier's check. Bounced three days after she deposited it. $900. Oldest scam in the book around here and she fell for it.
So much for worrying about rounding out any last orders before the 10/4 cutoff in NY. Now I'll have to ship stuff to her mom's home in CT and wait for her to go visit and return with the "illegal goods".
This scam was going around here about15 years ago, so widespread that the banks would not let us draw money off a deposited check for 3 days. It was a PIA. My husband took to cashing his paycheck at one bank, and depositing some at another branch.
Took me over 6 hours to get those pictures done. 120 pictures, copied on 8 flash drives.
