Craigslist scammer targeting my son...

What is a check? Is it some sort of handwritten note stating the fact that he has money stashed somewhere and is promising to pay you or something? Like an IOU? Let me get this straight: someone hand writes a note and puts any dollar amount on it and expects you to give him a product of said worth, then you take his note you YOUR bank after the fact and you expect them to magically put money thats 'sitting' somewhere into your account based on the good faith of an IOU based out of some other for profit institution? Who dreamed this commerce tool up, the Brothers Grimm? Seriously, there is something called paypal, it's almost free, and it's pretty darn secure. Plus the money is instantly in your account, (that you can promptly move into your non linked bank account so it cannot be 'retracted' electronically ) so there is no "its in the mail, hold the part" BS. If your really old fashioned and want a little piece of paper to stare at, there is the US postal money order that you can call a number to prove it's not stolen or is legit and even what the amount is for. Last time I saw a person write a check in the market, the cashier looked at her and said, "really?" Sarcasm aside, I do hope you only got hit for $35, and not a compromised routing number. I like the Monopoly money refund. That and post a Craigslist add with his number for "420 products for sex" That should get him some high quality calls.
