In the UK we need something called a cheque guarantee card which has your signature, you need this for example to write a cheque for $100 or more. I don't know if it's the case in the US, but only cheques below this value are allowed without the card. Are you telling us they managed to write 250+ cheques before you realised you were robbed? BS.

None of the places they wrote the cheques have any CCTV? BS.

You are assumed guilty before innocent - unless you live in the congo - BS.

You bought 5K worth of PC equipment before refunding our friend here? Get your prioriries straight.

You refunded $20 as a token? What a weak attempt at reconciliation, I have more than that down the side of my sofa.

Sounds like a lot of what you say is BS. Which is a real shame because from what I saw here I thought you were a decent guy. I know 14 sounds a little like 40 but I don't think you can use that excuse with typeface!

I would hope that your story is genuine, but I see you posted plenty on your sites in the last few months and in my quick browse I saw no mention of a robbery or arrest there, and no period in which you were offline.

A real shame that there are thieves among out community. As that's what it comes down to, petty theivery.

most checks that are that big would need an id to verify, meaning a license or something. just depends on the place. But your bank wouldnt not do that to you. How could 20k-25k go unnoticed. There is no way someone would spend that all in one day, plus if you got robbed how do you not notice your checks are missing. I dont know about anyone else, but i wouldnt notice if someone was spending my money. You have to sign a check, they can tell if its you or not. how would the robber know your signature? Complete BS.

I agree with fleebag. Thats why you should go with places like rentacoder and you post a private project then they can accept it and it can be mediated. Ive went through there before and the guy said he was done with my project, i told him thats not what i wanted and i got my money back. Great place.
