I do freelance work and usually deal with money only but these last few months I have been accepting checks because I am moving out of state and looking to buy a house. Anyway I did some work for someone ( that I have never met in Louisiana ).
First read flag was the job was just for 900 bucks, the check is made out for 1,950. Why is it so much higher you ask? Because they want me to give the excess to some jackass out here in Los Angeles. Immediately set an alarm off.
Then today I get the check in the mail and shit was hilarious, why anyone would fall for this is beyond me but take a look.
I'm supposed to believe that someone has the name Bacon Son?!?!
Now here is the check
First off there is no Chase :Logo, then the MCIR line is all wrong. The check number goes at the end not at the beginning. The routing number goes in the beginning(the routing number is actually correct) not in the middle.
The only thing I am out of is really time, I didn't sell a physical item and I sure as hell won't be cashing this check. So I am debating on just ripping it up or trying to turn this jackoff in to the authorities.
