CHECK CASHING SCAMS-2SHOT INTRO

SOME SCAM ARTISTS ARE USING A BAD CHECK TO STEAL MONEY FROM VICTIMS.

THE CHECK LOOKS REAL, THE BANK WILL PROBABLY CASH IT, BUT IT IS NOT WHAT IT APPEARS TO BE.

IN FACT. THESE BOGUS CHECKS ARE PART OF AN ELABORATE HOAX FROM SCAMMERS ACROSS THE BORDER.

CHECK CASHING SCAMS-PKG

NO ONE LIKES TO GET A BILL IN THEIR MAILBOX. BUT A CHECK. THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY.

HOW CAN I GO WRONG?

"It's a valid check, it's signed, it 's dated. It's for 3-thousand 960 dollars and 20 cents."

MIKE REX WASN'T EXPECTING ANY MONEY. ESPECIALLY NEARLY 4,000 DOLLARS, SO YOU CAN IMAGINE HIS SURPRISED TO FIND A REAL CHECK WITH HIS NAME ON IT.

"Got all excited and thought, i thought wow, i hit the jackpot."

IN FACT A LETTER THAT CAME WITH THE CHECK CLAIMED THIS RETIRED PHYSICIAN'S ASSISTANT HAD WON THE ALL AMERICAN DIRECT LOTTERY SWEEPSTAKES. AND THE CHECK WAS HIS. EXCEPT THE 2-THOUSAND 950 DOLLARS HE HAD TO SEND BACK TO PAY FOR LEGAL FEES, HANDLING, INSURANCE AND TAXES.

"People get excited about finding money they weren't expecting or weren't anticipating."

THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU SAYS THE CHECKS COULD CLAIM TO BE FOR LOTTERIES, SECRET SHOPPING JOBS, OVERPAYMENT ON CRAIGSLIST OR FOR RENTALS. BUT IT ALL ENDS THE SAME WAY AFTER THE VICTIM CASHES THE CHECK AND SENDS SOME OF THE MONEY BACK.

"Unfortunately people don't find out until several days after they've deposited the check and the bank may even recognize funds, that the check is fraudulent or that it bounces."

"So why would the banks cash a bogus check? Unfortunately you won't find out there's no money in that account until days or weeks afterwards. Then the bank will want its money back."

"And your bank will take the funds back and hold you responsible for those funds. you should have known those funds were legitimate when you deposited the check."

SO THAT INNOCENT CHECK IN THE MAIL. IS NOW TAKING A CHUNK OF MONEY OUT OF YOUR PERSONAL ACCOUNT TO PAY BACK THE BANK. PROMISES OF GOOD FORTUNE. DASHED BY A CLEVER SCAM.

OPENED UNDER HIS FLORIDA BEDROOM.

SOT MARK MIHAL / FELL INTO SINKHOLE: "It just came to mind when I was in mid

air probably so I was just freaking out."

THIS MORNING MIHAL IS HOME AND FEELING BETTER.

MEANTIME THE GOLF COURSE IS NOW WORKING ON FILLING THAT SINKHOLE. HE'S EVEN

SOT MARK MIHAL / FELL INTO SINKHOLE: "I don't know if I could play that

FACEBOOK FAMILY REUNION-INTRO

WE ALL HEAR STORIES OF PEOPLE USING SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES LIKE FACEBOOK TO FIND RELATIVES.

BUT WHAT IF YOU WERE ALREADY FRIENDS WITH THE PERSON YOU'RE LOOKING FOR?

FACEBOOK FAMILY REUNION-PKG

IT STARTED WITH A STATUS.

PAULA O'BRIEN SHARING AN ARTICLE ABOUT ADOPTION AND A DATE HER FAMILY NEVER FORGOT.

It was really hard for my entire family to deal with. We experienced that loss and we never forgot about that baby. We never gave up her. We observed her birthday every year. It never left our minds.

FOR YEARS, PAULA WONDERED WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO HER NIECE - WHERE SHE LIVED, HER HOBBIES, IF THEY LOOKED ALIKE - BUT SHE ALREADY KNEW.

I had done theater in the area. She's done theater in the area so we knew a lot of the same people so we met through mutual friends. And in fact, I think it was one of the first times we met when people we were at a party and people were joking that we looked alike and we just thought it was funny.

It was just kind of a coincidence that we looked like each other.

We have the same chin.

IT WASN'T UNTIL MORE THAN THREE YEARS AFTER MEETING THAT PAULA AND ABBEY DISCOVERED THEY WERE ACTUALLY RELATED.

I was at home and just reading though my feed on my Facebook and I just happened to see September 19th.

And Abbey happened to comment and say hey that's my birthday and I had the year wrong, I thought it was 1982, because I was a kid. And she said.

If it was 1983 it could have been me, and then she sent me a private message that was saying you know the birth parents names.

She emailed back and said oh my goodness, it sounds like you're my aunt.

I'm like yes, it was me.

NOW 29 YEARS OLD, ABBEY IS ADDING ANOTHER FAMILY TO HER LIFE.

It's been nice reading emails and starting to get in contact with people and friend-ing new aunts that are in the area.

This is truly a miracle. We just feel like our prayers have been answered.
