They were drawn on some "bank" in Virginia that I never heard of. The best part: all 3 checks had the same check number on them.

2 weeks later, I get an e-mail accusing me of cashing them and pocketing the money, and that he was going to report me to the FBI. I told him that his "checks" were at the Bourne police station, and he could contact them and arrange to get them back.

Never heard another peep.

Tell him that you used his check to help a Nigerian prince move his fortune out of the country and should be getting a big paycheck real soon....
