Probably a good answer to this, but I have no clue how someone can cash scam cheques and not get caught. They should be able to trace the account number at the least.
Peoples first instincts are to call the company or person who scammed them, and you can certainly drag that out.

Most of the time, they take your credit card number and don't run it through themselves, they sell it to gangs so that they can create their own credit cards with your number.

Or they never deposit your cheque, but they now have your account number, your signature, your transit number.

The really dumb ones directly fraud you.

The smart ones sell the information.
