Ripped off in Miami

The latest scam sweeping the country is bogus company checks from large corporations such as ATT, IBM, etc.
It gives receivers inmediate confidence that the check is good since it is seemingly backed by a multi-million dollar corporation and a convincing check can be dummied up by anybody with access to a good printing facility.
Never accept at face value a corporate check from anybody you don't know and especially if it is for more than the amount of the transaction in question.

Aaron,

I live in Miami. What was the full name and address that came up for this individual? I can ask around the gun community here and if he is still around perhaps embarrass him into paying up.
