Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I'm going to take it by my bank today...I have tried calling the number dozens of times but only get a voice mail. Once I find out this is a fraudulent check from my bank I will turn it over to the postal inspectors so they can start an investigation.

Not a Florida Bar member when I searched that name at the website.

I called the law office and spoke to a person there, not the attorney on the check. She told me that they have been dealing with this situation for a while now and that someone had made the checks through Facebook. They stated that it started with Craigslist and has now spread to other internet sites that sell things. I am assuming that someone hacked into their Facebook and were able to create checks. She also advised that this account is now closed. Not sure I believe all that or not.

I will have to check how it is spelled on the check again...but unfortunately it's at home and I'm at work but I may have mistakenly added and "I" to his name.

It is possibly just a typo you made in your post, since the lawyer's actual name is "Schloth". It just has an "L" where you posted the "I". Still, I guess it won't hurt to see what is printed the check you received. Maybe the scammer made the typo and not you.
