Michael Kopelman <[email protected]> money order scam

Here is an example of a scammer running money order scams. He sends job seekers a fraudulent check that looks real enough for the bank to accept for a few days before it bounces. He then asks the job seeker to pull money out and send it via money order somewhere else.
