Exactly! We just had an instance at my work where someone managed to get a hold of one of our bank account numbers and bank. They made up fraudulent checks and were passing them off to buy high end items on Craigs List in another state! Luckily we have protocols in place that we saw these checks hit immediately and were able to stop payment on those checks, but the people who sold and got payment with those fraud checks were out. On Craigs List it is wise to deal only in cash when you are the seller.
