Sometimes the cashier's checks are so well counterfeited, that they even fool the bank (for a little while).
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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.
Well, some people think that a cashier's check or money order is "as good as cash."
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.

sumi, A friend of mine, who writes for a major newspaper was just saying last night that he wanted a 'purebred puppy'. I'm SO sending him that link.

He could foster one of these babies.
I am not against ethical purebred dog breeding at all, but puppymills are inexcusable.

Wow. Huge snowflakes falling, like half-dollar size. But it's been raining all morning so I don't think any of it will stick.
