The cashier's check has long been an Internet criminal's best friend. Consumers seem to think cashier's checks, which come emblazoned with bank logos, are as good as cash. Once a check clears and funds are made available, people think the check must be legit. But that's not true. It can take weeks for banks to identify fraudulent checks. That means it might be a month or more before they take the money out of your account.

Stephen Cobert on Protecting your Identity!

Remember! This is a JOKE!

Here are the tips...
Protecting your online identity:
1. Always type with your non-dominant hand - so it's not typed in your handwriting.
2. Pick the right password - close your eyes and slap the keyboard at random.
3. Get hundreds of credit cards - never use the same one twice.
4. Defrag your hard drive once in a while - don't know what this is but I overheard a nerd say it somewhere at best buy.
5. For every real search on a search engine do a fake search - make it seem it's not you doing the search.
6. An infected computer is a vulnerable computer - make sure you wash your computer once a month.
