Are cheques even used for anything except for fraud anymore?

Open call: Anyone out there paying or receiving payment with cheque in the last ten years?

To be honest, one can easily realize that this "Marc Cannon" is a fake with the amount of spelling and grammatical errors he makes. Real professionals do not make spelling and grammar errors such as:

"Do you have any other question ?" "Good morning how are you this morning." "I will send you later" "Good morning, How are you doing today ?" "This is very disrespectful and all director are to meet you for training on monday and you're 'suppose' to have all your materials before then"

It was practically a dead giveaway when the guy used "autonation.com@proton.me", because the guy doesn't have access to the domain's email, he probably didn't even understand what you were saying.

Yes, we pay for a yard service a few times a year to do some bigger projects and they only accept checks. Sadly, not everyone has moved digitally

Classic fake check, send us the money before it clears scam. The premise this time is that the check is for office equipment for a fake job offer.

Guy gets a "job" as a software engineer with a WHOLE lot of work, onboarding, paperwork, etc. Then the first thing they ask him to do is deposit a check into his account and send them the Cash immediately, before the check clears. They had the check UPS'd to his house, too.
