Thanks. But here is the case.

My friend (the mark) has a check for $49 K plus in his possession. I saw the check; looked very official with TWO signatures. Checked was received in the mail. According to a note inside, he was to call a number in Canada before he deposited the check. He did that via SKYPE OUT and the person on the other end said he "activated" the check. So, if he deposits the check, his bank says it will take 15 days to clear. If he waits the 15 days and the funds have indeed been credited to his account, what can go wrong?

NOTE: my friend has not yet deposited the check. So what happens if he deposits the check?
