I took the check to my bank and they said it looked legit. They ran it through the little check machine and everything. I talked to the manager before proceeding with the deposit and she assured me I would not be held responsible if the check was bunk so long as I did not pill out any $ from it. So I deposited the check and waited for it to clear. A few days later I got a notice from BofA that the check was bunk and I was forced to pay some fee's for their troubles. Sucked, but everything seemed so legit! Good thing I was cautious.

Did you pay the fees?
