JJ; Put the check in the bank and if its good tell him thanks for the tip.If not, you haven't lost anything, and still have the tractor. That game works both ways.

If the check is bad, guess who's account the "bad check fee" comes out of. The fee at my bank was at $30.00 the last time I read the fine print.

Many banks now charge fees to the depositor for checks that are dishonored.

Oh, they're all over. In town today saw a well dressed man walking toward the airport wheeling luggage. Since it was 100°+ I stopped to help. The longer we talked the less true his stories got. I finally had to turn him away.

This was a regular occurence in AZ where I drove taxi for a while. A guy would come into town all dressed up and acting important and call the cab. He'd try to commandeer the cab for a long time, as his own personal car, but would run out of money quick. A few days later his new clothes would all be stinky and dirty, and he'd get run out of town eventually.

It would always be the same story, put me on credit until my next big check arrives from my banker.. don't know why it hasn't showed yet.. etc..

Another guy supposedly inherited a million dollars from his folks but his brother had it and wouldn't give it to him.. He was also "dying of Cancer with 6 months to live". He had very little extra cash but always seemed to get by.Got a bunch of free handouts. He's still around several years later, and has made a few friends and a lot more enemies. Even got in a couple of convenient accidents and fights that lawyers used to his advantage and now he's got some money. Even runs his own car lot now. Still hasn't showed any sign of dying.

Scammers like these just make it harder for all the real hard luck cases out there. I'm a bunch more jaded after dealing with these guys.

"Even runs his own car lot now. Still hasn't showed any sign of dying."

Sometimes people need help with that.
