So people actually send a refund check without cashing the one they received first? I guess there is one born every minute.
Well, some people think that a cashier's check or money order is "as good as cash."
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Yeah, that's kind of the whole point of them, isn't it?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Sometimes the cashier's checks are so well counterfeited, that they even fool the bank (for a little while).

Probably not true: the woman they were featuring resisted the constant emails to wire the money to the guy, but deposited the check - took three weeks for it to come back as counterfeit. I can't imagine that's not illegal. Or had your guy not sent it yet?
Nope, he hadn't sent anything....

Ann, that's a ferret.

Which is how the scam succeeds as often as it does.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, sumi, the puppymill rescue dogs are breaking me into little bits. Poor little creatures. Stupid humans (the puppymill breeders, not the rescuers, who are excellent humans).

I'm just happy that those poor dogs got taken out of those bad situations.

Can't even look at that story. Just can't.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
People steal blank cashier's checks (and the machines to impress them, too), so counterfeits are often impossible to tell without going through actual records.
