A collaboration between US Postal Inspector and police from other countries resulted in the arrest of 77 scammers involved in fake check scams.

"While 60 people were arrested in the Netherlands, 16 in Nigeria and one in Canada, victims of these scams include South Carolinians."

Note that fake money orders are also included. As we have always said, always cash the check and money order and ensure that the money is IN. Until then, it is just a piece of useless paper.
