I was sent a check from the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics Authority in the amount of $1998.00, I have been burned before by online lotteries and wanted to verify the validity of the check so I tried to call the number on the check to see if the bank would validate it.
The number was not working, so I went online and got the contact number for the bank off the website and informed the lady what the situation was and she told me that the check was fake and could not be cashed.
This is very upsetting. How can the government allow such things to happen? If I hadn't had previous dealings with such scams I would probably have cashed the check and been taken for the money and wouldn't have been able to provide a christmas for my family or paid my bills on time!
At least I had enough common sense to check it out first, but what about the people out there who don't have access to all the information necessary to research such things? This kind of scam should be stopped quick, fast, and in a hurry!!

Stopping the scams should be a government priority.
But how to do it?
My opinion, Western Union / Paypal / MoneyGram / et al have to be brought under Banking Regulations.
The common thread to all these scams is the untraceable delivery of cash.
If there were no way for people to give their cash anonymously to strangers, the scams would dry up.
Force Western Union to only allow transfers between account-holders. The money is then a bank transaction and can be traced and even reversed in the case of fraud.
