- Did you know that when a person bounces a check.....you can call the
- police and lodge a complaint on him. The police are then required to
- go to the persons residence and make an arrest. I didn't know this
- until a few years ago when I took a course on something else. After
- that someone gave me a bounced check and I did this and let me tell
- you that the jerk had to go to jail and I was paid way before it could
- ever get to court. Yes REVENGE IS SWEET!! Good Luck to all and may
- this asshole get all he deserves.
