I was referring to the evidence of the fraud...if the chemicals destroy the paper 24 hours after it has been applied, in order for the fraud to occur, the paper has to be "good" for the mark to take it...and in the case of stores/banks/POS outlets, the transaction is recorded (stored electronically) and the paper (frauded check) is handed right back to the perpetrator...
This might have worked about 5 years ago, or still works in the outbacks of Arkansas or the swamps along the coast, but still, I don't think I'd want "Bubba" looking for me 'cause the paper I gave him is crumbling in his hand...I like it when pork squeals...not me! :eek: :P
