Here in Florida, anything over $300 is a felony. They even have a special line to get in to prosecute a bad check. The bad check is definetly in your favor.

As far as Rick, I know him, and he is a stand up guy, and a guy that will help anyone out. I'm sure he thought he was helping you with the referall. I assure you, that Rick had nothing to do with the shady dealings.

I have personaly threatened contractors with bodily harm, to get them to write me a check, even though I knew the check was no good. Without a bad check, all I have is a civil matter to prosecute, and then you only get a judgement, not the money. It's up to you to collect the judgement, whereas, with a bad check in hand, you now have a criminal case against him, and when convicted, I guarantee that restitution will be part of his sentence, or part of his probation. Don't ask me how I know this. :mad:

Thank you Joe,

Most of yhese guys here dont know me, but those that do(including Joe) I am SURE will tell you, I meant no harm. As everyone can see, I stood up as soon as I saw this thread, no hiding on my part.

Rick

Yes, most of the time I wouldn't stick my neck out to take someone's side, but knowing you as I do, I have no problem putting my reputation on the line, right beside yours.

Bling, I told you from the beginning just to fly me out to do the service.

Sucks............sorry Bling!

They only do that in Jersey :D:D

Or if you're from Jersey........I haven't lived there in 15 years, but that part of Jersey is still in my Italian blood!!

Well, where is Chris George with one of his snappy pea soup bullchit excuses?

Florida is the wrong place to bounce a check.
