Seniors vs. Crime: Where do all those fake checks come from?
Clinton Herald
Many of you reading this probably received a fake check delivered to you. You either recognized outright it was a fake, or when you took it to the bank, they refused to take it, or warned you not to take out the proceeds of the deposit until the check cleared (which it didn’t).

Don Zuehl of rural Dewitt thought he found a great work-from-home opportunity. For payment of $3000 a month, all he needed to do was process and mail checks.
