[Boatanchors] [ic-7610] SCAM Alert - Received A Cshiers Check For $1500.00 Today

[Mike McCarthy, W1NR]

These scams have been around a long time. In general, they will ask you 
to cash or deposit the check and then send cash or buy and ship 
something quickly before the check bounces in your account.
