Re: [AMC-list] AMC GUYS BEWARE / FRAUD

Go to usps.com and look around for mail fraud, or contact your local 
post master. If the fake check is sent in the mail to you it's still 
considered mail fraud. USPS can even trace back a P.O. box. ----------

claiming to do something as stunned as overpay by $1160 on a $40 part?

Yeahbut...  The cheque is a fake, and they want you to send back the 
"excess" via Western Union, so it's untraceable.  There's nothing by
which these guys can be tracked down.
