Anyone know of a scam involving someone named Amie Amize?
I received a check in the mail recently. Thinking it was payment for some freelance work I did, I went to cash it. Turns out the check was fraudulent. I now owe the bank $200.00
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew of a scam similar to this, involving a woman named Amie Amize? Also, why do people write fraudulent checks? What does it gain them?

The scammers often use different names with different scams so it’s impossible to track them. Report this to the FBI and have them try to track this person. They gain because normally they will contact you after you deposit it to say that they sent it in error and ask you to send the money or a portion of it back to them via Western Union
