I guess I should rephrase. Every felony class in Wisconsin carries with it the possibility of jail time. Don't like them odds.

The routing number and account number on the bottom of the check have never existed. Very easy to track nowadays the deputy said.
He used his name but someone else's address on the check. I still can't figure out why he used his name.

I want to, but my buddy says I better not. He has nothing to lose and I have a lot to lose.

I have and would do the following, Have Polk county send you small claim form fill out (not much to it) then pay court filing fee and pay like 40.00 to have sheriff serve papers , this gets most to pay by court date. If he does or doesn't go to court you will win ( based on your info) plus he has to pay all filling fees interest (I charged 18 percent in past) you could also add travel expense . If goes to court ask to have docketed this will prevent him borrowing with bank until you are paid, I had claim for 180.00 that ended up paying me over 1200.00 after about 8 years. Guy couldn't get home refinanced until I was paid. They offered me 500.00 I said no I want all.

Maybe you want to send me over there and I can punch this prick in the face for you, and maybe put his balls in a vice until he coughs up the cash. I would just love to beat the holy hell out of a douche bag like this.

He will be in jail in about 3 days I am told. I want to see where that goes first. Jail will be good and then I will go after my money.

I get those feelings with customers at times and like to think I am right in most cases.

Looked like any other old farmer. About 50-60 years old, 5' 8", 170lbs. I had 3 customers at the shed when he pulled up, after calling me a couple hours earlier. I got him his 7 bags of seed took his check, wrote down his cell number and license plate number when he drove away, and thought nothing of it...........until the check came back, stamped "unable to locate account". Then I said WTF?
I have had the normal bad checks before, but never one that said unable to locate account.

They use their own name on the checks so that their ID matches if you were to ask for one. After you accept the check they hope you don't make a report or if you do that information is limited enough that the investigation never leads to them. You taking the license plate and phone number is a huge help and something most wouldn't have done. Next step for these guys is usually to try and settle up with you after law enforcement puts the pressure on them.

When making a sizable sale.....I will sometimes take a picture of the guy and / or his vehicle and license number. Pretty easy, and inconspicuous with a cell phone these days.
When I sold my old 790 tractor.....the guy seemed legit....but you never know. Cash on strangers is still the best. When I sell on CL.....I tell them to bring green cash. :D That does not work in all aspects of biz tho.

The reason I write down the license plate numbers and phone numbers if possible is this. Another supplier of seed and chemicals like myself had a new customer call for a large amount of product and asked for the total amount of purchase as he was bringing over a cashiers check drawn on from a well known bank for the exact amount. The guy showed up the next day at the busy morning time, loaded his truck and paid with his cashiers check that looked real, shook the suppliers hand and was gone. 9 days later the check came back fake, and the guy had no phone number to call the guy from and no license plate to trace. Gone with $80,000 worth of $500 jugs of chemicals. Never to be seen or heard from again.
I trust no one anymore and it only takes 10 seconds to write down a couple things to try and protect yourself. And yet it still may happen.

Checks are so easy to recreate with today's technology. Cloned credit/debit cards are an even bigger issue. Too many people out there cheating the system instead of paying for their stuff with money they earned legitimately. The banks are actually taking the biggest hit as they are the "victim" in many of these cases.
