"Check Cashing Scam" spam

An e-mail scam is making the rounds, which involves you (the victim) accepting checks by mail, depositing them into your own bank account, then sending a remittance (minus your 10% commission) by Western Union to the scammer. Of course, the checks you receive then bounce, leaving you holding the bag. Thanks to Ted Richardson for his post about this scam on his Fraudwar blog:
