Scotty, Yes it should have but because of my husband's death and meds I was taking and working a second job already it didn't. But this is a crime and scam I am not the only one who has fallen prey to this kind of scam.. So i want the laws rewritten when this kind of thing happens to people who are in mine and other similar situations we won't be locked up and treated as a criminal before all avenues has been investigated...

zzrena, I hope you didn't get scammed out of the 90% you sent (?) in response, in addition to the 10% that never materialized. I believe that con artists often find their victims by perusing the obit columns. In future it is always better for people who are unsure of the legitimate nature of a check, to simply deposit it and wait until the money is actually in the account. There is never any legitimate reason for haste in these matters.

Just remember if something sounds to good to be true, it usually is. I don't know many people who are handing out free money. I am sorry for you loss, but be careful of "easy money."
