Hi I recently recieved a check from someone buying a couple of items from me (Ipod, ps2, computer, etc) and I was just thinking what if it is fake? I got quite a few opinions from people including a friend (works at a bank) they said it looked legit too. The check was for 2300. Can anyone help? What could possibly happen if it comes out to be fake?
Thanks In Advance

Just do NOT spend or withdraw any of the funds! Let it sit for 60 days. If it isn't bounced back by then it should be safe.

i receive a check just like that but i took it to a bank and had them to check the numbers on it and they found out it was counterfeit so they kept it so go to your bank and let them know your situation and see what they can do about it but if u got the money you will have to pay it back have a nice day.

You would be charged for insufficient funds from your bank. If it was forged it would be a police matter and I doubt you would be in trouble for it. You didn't know at the time. You would be out of $2300.00 and the merchandise you sold unless you pursued it in the courts.
