That's what I thought. But I reported it to the FBI and their Internet Crimes division. I was basically told that since I I wasn't out any money, and that they get thousands of complaint where people are scammed out of money, that they weren't going to do much. It was a fake check from a real Credit Union, and many fake names and e-mail addresses. Seemed to me they should have been able to track something but they just couldn't devote the time.
