you could take them to the bank
that is printed on them
they would know who they belong to

isn't this obvious?

Fill out the check, go to the bank and ask them if it's legitimate. By no means am I telling you to commit fraud, though.

Doesn't matter. If you don't own the account and you haven't been given authority by the person who owns the account to write checks, doing anything with them if they're "good" is fraudulent.

Company should've taken the time to shred them...even if they weren't from an active account.

Make one out to someone you don't like and mail it to them. See if they get arrested for cashing a bad check.

What possible difference does it make to you if they are good or not? Shred them ASAP or just toss them back in the trash where you found them.

1) Open a swiss bank acount.
2) destory the checks. if you could afford to open a swiss bank acct, why do you need this business's money?!?!?

Pardon me if my code of ethics doesn't automatically preclude me from stealing from some snobby elietest "Golf Association" that probably has more money than it knows what to do with. I'm a poor college student. I'm not going to do anything with them, for fear of getting caught; but if there was a garunteed way of getting away with it, and getting a substantial sum of money out of the deal; I might think twice...



way to justify it. so i guess you're cool with a homeless guy kicking your ass and taking your wallet because you're better off than him and he can get away with it?
