Fake check scams have now become a common way of conning unsuspecting people and robbing them off their money. The scammers get in touch with people whose details they can get easily and come up with a story that fits the situation. After forming a communication, the scammers send genuine-looking fake checks wherein the amount is higher than required and they always have a valid reason for doing this. They then ask the victims to wire the surplus money back. Later, only when the bank informs the sellers that their check was counterfeit do they realize that they have been duped. iYogi has released an alert to warn its users to stay away from such scams.

    Almost got duped!

    I almost got duped by fake cheque scam! I was having an online sale and this person agreed with the prices and sent me a cheque for amount exceeding what we had agreed upon. He asked me to wire back the excess amount and when I went to the bak, the teller told me that such ppl were usually fake and I should not wire money till the cheque is cleared. Sure enough next day cheque bounced and I never heard from him again!

    Hey Elvis, good thing you asked the teller before wiring the idiot the money! If more people thought like you these cheque frauds would not be so common. When people receive a cheque amounting to a large sum, they usually think it’s genuine and then proceed with the payment! You should always wait till the cheque is cleared and then proceed with the other person’s request.
