First of all, you need to READ carefully. Know that banks DO NOT clear any types of checks within 24 hours. This is not likely anywhere in the world. The fact is, they will cash it for you and give you the money, if you have enough in your account to cover it, then once you have cashed it, it is up to you to collect it from the fraudulent person. Banks trust you to know who you are dealing with, thus, you are responsible to know if it is a scam or not.

Thanks to all of the people who care and send in responses, we can always look to the Internet to find these undesireables...... Good job all...........

Here is another one I recieved today:

I looked up the "MIO Group Inc" on Google and saw this site and wanted to say thank you for informing people that this is a scam.

@C. Edwards: "Stupid" is a strong word. There are a lot of people who are in pretty bad shape and this comes as the answer to their prayers. Sometimes they let their desire for this to be true blind them to the possibility that it might be a scam. Don't be so hard on them. These scams take advantage of two types of people: those who are blinded by greed and those who are blinded by desperation. For those in the latter group, they got kicked while they were down... hard. Laughing at them is just cruel.

This was the address I got from:
