BEWARE of dealing with rtse66
Nope, not missing the big picture at all. If you were/are truly that worried about fraud then why send a check in the first place? Once he has the r&t, account number, branch id etc he can just have your checks printed damn near any where. If you were/are truly that worried about it you would HAVE sent a money order....Please, I know you are in law enforcement, you don't need to keep telling us.....
